If you had your secondary education in Nigeria, then I’m certain that you must have experienced or had friends who had school mothers and even fathers. Securing a school mother has its perks, but you have to shine your eye and make sure you bag the IT girls.
Let us spotlight some of the things someone with a school mother can relate to.
1. GIFTS
Sometimes getting a school daughter is just like trying to date a girl. It’s a competition especially if she has loads of other seniors on her neck. So, it balls down to who is the swiftest at getting the junior girl’s attention. They tend to shower you with loads of gifts and this clouds your judgment till you fall for one of them.
2. CARE & SUPPORT
A good school mom will always find time to attend to your needs, no matter how tight her schedule is.
3. PUNISH BULLIES
If you are getting bullied by one of your classmates or even a senior, your school mother can always intervene. She’ll be there to issue a stern warning and set boundaries on your behalf.
4. ESCAPE PUNISHMENTS
For those who have mothers amongst the big girls in school, your stay in school becomes bliss. Especially for those who stay in the hostels. You will always be excluded from whatever duty or punishment you have to observe.
5. SHORT CUTS
A senior who has been in school long enough will know the do’s and don’ts of the school. She enlightens you (the JJC) on how to go about certain things and how to stay out of trouble.
6. ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
You can’t have a brilliant school mother and not excel in your academics.
7. ROLLING WITH THE BIG DAWGS
Having a school mother in a senior class, who also belongs to the big girl’s clique in school allows you to hang out with them. This automatically gives you an edge over others.
8. ATTENTION & POPULARITY
If your school mother is popular, then you are bound to automatically get popular as well. Everyone in your class suddenly wants to be your friend just because of them.
9. EXPOSURE
A school mother wants to ensure that her daughter has just the right amount of orientation.
10. GUIDANCE
A good school mother is there to guide and advise you when certain situations arise.
