PRICELESS LESSONS

The NYSC orientation camp is an awesome event for some whereas, annoying or others. For me, it was quite exciting. I found all of its activities fun and intriguing. Corp members hastily forget the lessons learnt, hence this article

• Morning devotion: this teaches corp members to not neglect their God, for without Him, they wouldn't be
• Exercise: scientifically proven to have a healthy life. thus teaching corp members to stay healthy
• Meals: the meals often minute and sometimes tasteless teaches one how to manage resources and adapt to circumstances
• Parade:  the endless parade in the sun teaches perseverance and discipline
• Lectures: this teaches one to learn wherever one finds oneself because knowledge gained is never wasted
• Cooking/Sanitation Competitions: teaches the value of domestic hard work/teamwork
• Music/Dance/Drama/Sport:  this helps harness talents in corp members, thus teaching us not to neglect our talents
• Beauty contests:  teaches corp members to appreciate beauty and respect cultures from the various ethnic groups in Nigeria
• Bed Space: although tiny, it teaches one to be more organized, for  if one can manage little, then much would not be wasted
• Mammy market: a place with varied goods and services- mammy. it teaches one the wise usage of money
• Platoon divisions: imagine an orientation camp without platoons. there would be chaos and anarchy! thus, the platoon grouping teaches corp members unity in diversity and the value of being organized
• Camp fire: teaches one to relax and have fun after hard work 
• Time scheduling:  the time for every activity was allocated to a certain time prior to the commencement of the camp, thus, teaching us to lead planned lives if we have the intention to be successful.  

It is essential as corp members, to examine your lives to ensure you possess these priceless values
