Osasogie

Osasogie is 12 years old and is in Junior Class Two at the After School Academy. He firmly believes that God is greater than any king in the world. His favorite story is the book of Exodus when God delivers the Israelites from Pharaoh. His favorite Bible character is Moses because Moses used to have a stammer like him. Still, God took away his disability, and he was able to defend the Israelites. Osasogie, Osas for short, prays that God makes him bold, like Moses.

Osas began attending the After School Academy in kindergarten at the young age of 5. He says, “attending the academy has made me love studying and reading books. Right now, I want to be the best in everything I do”. He is among the top students in his class and hopes to be number one soon. Osas loves the After School Academy so much and enjoys learning. He believes that A2S is a loving and happy place to be, and he thinks the meals are delicious and nutritious. Every Friday at the After School Academy our kids play sports. Osas loves this time of the week as it helps him to stay fit.

Osas is the third of five children. His father is a public transporter, while his mother is a trader that sells cold drinks and snacks. His family is close-knit and very supportive of each other. Osasogie appreciates whenever he is able to get school supplies and as a family, their favorite thing to do is play indoor games.

Osas loves spending time with his twin siblings, Justice, and Justina. Justice is his soccer partner, while Justina is the cheerleader. Though his mother does not like them playing outside because of communal dangers, there is also no steady electricity. However, when there is power, he enjoys watching cartoons and cheering on his favorite soccer team on TV. His parents want their children to be well educated, and Osas prays that God continues to provide for them.

Osas’s biggest dream is to become an electrical engineer in the future so that he can help solve the electricity problems in his community. Osas has learned so much from the academy. Some of the things he will always remember is to share smiles, help people when you know you can help, be resourceful and never give up.

Osas says, “God bless Access to Success, all the donors, volunteers and staff. I love you”.
