UJU ORAMAH

possesses a captivating presence that immediately reveals her special qualities, which naturally draw people towards her. She is a woman of God, abundantly blessed with wisdom, patience, and gratitude. During our time as co-teachers for senior English at Antioch High School, the impact Uju had on the class was remarkable. On her very first day, the students were filled with excitement as she entered the room. Her presence alone brought a sense of serenity and fostered an atmosphere of mutual respect, making the process of instruction easier and more enjoyable. Even those students known for their discipline issues or disruptive behavior became calm and respectful whenever she was present. Uju is a person with whom you feel an immediate sense of safety and trust. She creates an environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing their past experiences, current situations, and aspirations for the future. In return, she opens up about her own life journey, always possessing the wisdom to deliver positive and spiritual messages that profoundly impact others. Notably, her influence extends beyond the confines of the school walls and resonates within her community.

 Uju is consistently greeted with the same enthusiasm and warmth as she is by the students at school. This can be attributed to her genuinely good spirit, which is unmistakable and truly authentic. Reflecting on the circumstances that brought us together as co-teachers, it becomes evident that Uju’s presence in my life was no mere coincidence. Some individuals enter our lives with a purpose, and in retrospect, it is clear that she was sent to provide counsel and become a much-needed friend to me, while also assuming the role of a mother figure for numerous students.
