Mini Seminar: The Road to Greatness

On Friday, Harry McNinson gave a highly motivating Mini Seminar on 'The Road to Greatness'. We'd like to commend our mentees for forgoing their Entertainment and our mentors (and speaker) for missing the opening game of the World Cup to be there.

Harry introduced his talk with a brief outline of his journey from a student at Kinbu to being the first student in his class (and possibly school) to go to university, to where he is now at Databank. He had no qualms about being real, sharing his struggles and mistakes as plainly as his joys and successes.

After this introduction, Harry launched into the meat of the seminar, detailing the steps one must take to get onto (and indeed to stay on) the Road to Greatness. He related a lot of this talk to his experiences at Kinbu (including a cheeky remark about an old teacher, much to the amusement of the students), making it especially relateable to all mentees present.



Go Black Stars!!

It is amazing what impact you can create in the life of someone by just talking to them and motivating them. I hope we realize our intentions for these young one at Kinbu. May God bless all our efforts.

So true Samson. It's really gratifying to see; sometimes it's the small things that make the biggest difference. I hope the Programme will continue making an impact for years to come.
