I live in the barracks which is very big and I like taking a walk around the premises to visit my friends, agemates and schoolmates. Walking around the place makes me feel relaxed and happy because I get to crack jokes with my friends and schoolmates.

I and my friend, my classmates especially like to go to the hotel to relax and have fun. The hotel 🏨 is a place where you can feel relaxed and comfortable due to the features and beautiful surrounding.

I and my friends usually swim in the pool, dance to good afrobeat music, drink both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and eat good food. We also go around the hotel to take pictures to remember our moments with each other.
