Deputy Principal: Good afternoon Juma.
Juma : Good afternoon sir.
Deputy Principal: Why do you think you will make a better School Captain than Chebet?
Juma: I’m the current Deputy School Captain sir, I was a captain when I was in primary school so I feel I
have a lot of experience in leadership. Remember sir, I’m the one who solved the conflict between Form
Three and Four students when the problem of watching football match or movie arose in the dining hall
last term.
Deputy Principal: That is commendable Juma, however, we can see in your academics report that you
dropped in the end term examination yet Chebet who is also the school deputy captain excelled in all her
subjects. That is why I would advise you to be our academic captain instead. It will help you better your
grades because you will be in charge of the library as well.
