A YEAR ONCE NEW

By

Tic tac, tic tac
Seconds became minutes,
And minutes counted by the hours
Each day gives way to another,
Weeks rolled by and turned months
We all grew older, not younger.

Tic tac, tic tac
We are here again at the borderline
Waiting to cross and start a new count
The last day of the year is here;
A year once called NEW is now ending
For another 365 days to be given.

Think twice, be wise!
Though it seems the world has no end
But true, no man will live forever.
Even as each year comes to an end
You and I will someday be a history;
Our actions and deeds but a reflection.

Tic tac, be full of thanks
Tic tac, make a plan
We're given same measure of time
Lest one complain and feel cheated.
Each man must chart his own course
Either led by his instinct or his GOD.

Summer Camp Nigeria! The Best Summer Camp...

By
Hey brainy bloggers, now is the time we all need to come together to share with the rest of the world all that the  Brainy Educare   is doing to equip and empower young people like us.  The just concluded Summer Camp Nigeria 2013 is one of the perfect example. It's an awesome experience that can never be forgotten in a hurry.  In fact, I can't wait to share the gist about the fun and learning that took place at the summer camp. Watch out for the photo story video produced by a group of teenagers in one of the apprenticeship class at the Summer Camp Nigeria 2013 .  Adios Amigos! (Spanish).

summer camp Nigeria 2013

Summer camp Nigeria Summer camp Nigeria 2013 was the best summer experience ever that cannot be forgotten easily.            Before I came to this camp I thought the best thing to do during the summer was to stay at home and watch TV, but now I know that I was wrong. Summer camp Nigeria was by far better  than anything TV has got to offer you at home.          Not only did I learn some things that I do not have the opportunity of being taught in school, but I also made a lot of new friends, both campers and camp instructors.              I could not have imagined anything better for summer camp Nigeria. And I can honestly say that I am looking forward to Summer camp Nigeria 2014.
