What did I Learn in Secondary School - King’s College Budo

Still in an arguement with James Onen (aka Fatboy) on what I benefitted from secondary school, specifically King’s College Budo. Main storyhttp://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=266927416672953&id=100000642536805&ref=notif&notif_t=share_replyIts an interesting argument we are having since both Fatboy and I have walked similar paths through Kampala Parents School through Budo, however then he went to India and I to Makerere University.

What did I learn from Budo:

• How to lead people, was a sub-lumper and stand-in house prefect at one time, and later a community work lead.

• How to teach myself and not depend on teachers (we have good teacher but in some areas severely lacking)

• How do to survive and recover when down, had a suspension at one time during A-Level and it taught me alot, from dealing with parents to how to balance my new found notoriety with Academics, inspired me to be an A+ student

• How a well run system operates - the school is run by the kids not teachers who offer guidance and authority, so delegation, institutions and structures are important, this re-inforces what my culture teaches me (Fatboy would agrue violently against it)

• How to surivie in a society that values those who are better - you had to be good at something, whether sports, loaded parents, academics, good with girls, good dancer, or notorious. I developed a wide range of survival skills so that even if I did not stand out, I knew my way around, and the skills are still aiding me now

So what did I learn, a few little things which may or may not be useful, but which make me who I am
