Published on August 30, 2019, a day that brought back memories of high school days.
High school is a time of great memories, and every school has its unique set of characters. Whether it was the prestigious Brookhouse, Kakamega High school, or Nyakemincha, everyone has memories of their high school days.
Many schools have students who fit into certain categories, and it's hard not to find them in any high school. Here are some of the types of students you can never miss to find in any high school:
Dining Hall Champions ¶
These students are always on time and can never miss a meal. They are the first ones to get to the dining hall and leave last after mealtime. They always go back for additional food once everyone is served.
Sports Lovers ¶
Most of those who love sports are not bright when it comes to books. They will train hard, never miss training, play well during competitions, emerge the best, and get crowned the best players (MVP) but rarely appear on top when it comes to academics.
Nairobians ¶
Every school has students who brag about coming from the big city and staying in posh estates. They claim to have been to Galittos, the Junction (Ngong rd), and even Altona (the famous fish & chips joint in the CBD). How do such people feel now that there is the Two Rivers mall?
Book Worms ¶
They made some of us look silly. They would wake up early at 3 am, go to class to study, although some scored good grades, others were just doing it for show off. They would top the list from the bottom. These students always spent time in the library reading and you will never find them engaging in curriculum activities.
Others ¶
There are also the vimbelembele who would always ask for homework and remind teachers of something they had even forgotten. The shagz mondoz who took long to understand things but were darlings to many. And the music/drama festival members who never raised a hand in class but shone when it came to music festivals.
