Update on our Career Day

Just like I promised to give an update about our Career Day which was held on the 10th of June, 2021 precisely on Thursday. It was indeed an interesting one and I never believed we could go that extent. Career Day is a compulsory event by all Counselling students and would be used to grade our scores. Though, some supervisors are so kind to understand some students who can't afford doing such and with this, they cancel the event for them and help them. Career Day is not something 2 or 3 students can do other own because it cost so much whereby we pay for decoration, Personnels who will be coming (Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, Engineers and so on) these personnels would be guest speakers to talk on Career in their own way.

So, in my own school, we are just 5 students and here we are preparing to merge with other schools as we have planned. Though the fifth Counselor wasn't around then.

We got to the venue and met them decorating the high table and we join them too

The program started at 10:30am with the M.C while we keep waiting for the guests to occupy the high table

Then, a student counselor said the opening prayer

After the prayer, we all recited the National Anthem, Osun State anthem and my school's Anthem and the program started fully with the M.C introducing every student Counselors from different schools.

Then, the Principal of the school gave his own speech on "CAREER".

According to him, Career is a profession one takes throughout his or her lifetime. The students were so happy listening and every Personnels gave their speech. Questions were asked by the students of the school and one of my lecturers gave them succinct answers to their questions

After the questions and answers session, the M.C decided to make us busy with a logical question. Though the question is what I have known since when I was in Primary School and it was easy for me to understand it while it took others a while to understand how to solve the logic. I even had to say the answer to some of them as they keep coming to me to solve the question: I was happy I learnt this in the past and still remember it today.

Here goes the logical question;

"A man and a woman weighs 50kg each. Their two sons weighs 25kg each and they need to cross to the other side of the river with a boat available for them. The boat can only contain just 50kg. How would they all cross the river to the other side successfully?"

And this is the answer in case there are those who still are confused on how they will all cross over to the other side with the boat containing 50kg only.

Since the boat can take 50kg and the two sons are 25kg each. Both sons will take the boat to the other side, one will stay over while the second son will bring back the boat to his parents. The Father will go with the boat to the other side. The other son will bring back the boat to where the mother is. Remember, the two sons are now together with their mother. Then the two sons will again take the boat to where the father is. One will stay with the father while the other will bring back the boat to his mother. The mother will take the boat over again and the son with the father will take back the boat to his other brother. Both sons will then bring back the boat to the parents. That solves it 😀😀

Before I could understand how to solve this then, it took a while to know the answer and ever since then, it sticks to my memory.

And the program ended successfully and here is a picture of all student counselors with our lecturers

Thanks for viewing and reading.
