In the quiet hills of Gindiri, where the whispers of the wind carry memories of the past, lies a place that holds a special significance in the hearts of many – the Plateau State College of Education. As we gather to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our alma mater, we are reminded of God’s faithfulness that has guided us through the corridors of learning and into the vast expanse of life beyond our school walls.
Within these walls, we have laughed, cried, and forged friendships that have withstood the test of time. But as we look back on two decades of existence, we also remember those who are no longer with us – classmates, teachers, and friends who have left a void in our hearts. Their absence serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the preciousness of every moment we share with one another.
Despite the passage of time and the twists and turns of life, we find ourselves standing here today, reunited with old companions and new acquaintances, with hearts full of joy and gratitude. The bonds that were forged within the classrooms and hallways of our beloved college have proven to be unbreakable, transcending the years that have separated us.
As we raise our glasses in celebration, we offer a prayer of thanksgiving to the Almighty for guiding us on this journey, for blessing us with cherished memories, and for allowing us to reach this significant milestone. Through the ups and downs, the triumphs and tribulations, it is His grace that has sustained us, His love that has connected us, and His mercy that has brought us together once more.
As we reflect on the past and look towards the future, let us carry with us the lessons learned, the friendships renewed, and the gratitude in our hearts for the gift of each other and the gift of time. May the spirit of Plateau State College of Education, Gindiri, continue to inspire us, unite us, and remind us of the enduring power of faith, friendship, and fellowship.
More grace ahead 🎆🎆🤸
