Bridging The Gap

By

For those of us that are still students we know that there is  a gap between the classroom and the real word.

I'm a Civil Engineering student, everyday we learn a lot of theories and a lot of classroom stuff but we are always yearning to see how they how they apply to the real world.'
So my exciting course mates and I, Civil Engineering '19 Covenant University pushed for a way to close this gap and we suggested more field experience. Thanks to our listening lecturers we were able to visit Covenant University's Sport Complex Site.


Not to bore you with the engineering review, it's an ultramodern sporting facility with two stands and a capacity of about 7000 seats, 8-lane track and a lot more games facilities. 

 We were able to see different ways the theories we learn are applied. My biggest take back from this field trip is that one has to be ready for any situation and we must be able to apply our ingenuity to different situations to solve problems.

 The project is due to be completed by the end of this year and I look forward to playing my final year league there.

Share your thoughts about bridging the gap between the classroom and the real world.

I am a Youth and I stand for Peace

By
Youth for Peace by David Edet I have dreams, visions and ambitions. I am not the only youth with dreams and ambitions. We are all humans, and being humans we are different in every ramification and sphere, making the means by which we intend getting to our dreams and ambitions different even though our dreams of a better life, a better world  for ourselves, family and friends are alike. The absence of conflict is taken generally to mean peace, but conflicts has has been found to be a part of human existence. If peace is the absence of conflict then peace is death. So I present peace as compromise . As Youth we all crave for a better future and better world which could be seen as the end, and as its said "the end justifies the means" but you know of the various ends we have been having around us and in the world which points to the means that it  justifies.    As Youth lets come to a compromise of our means and have a large level playing ground on every sphe...
