Today Wednesday, the 16th November 2011, the
Green House had its turn for the School Assembly.and had as its theme: Reason
and self-belief.
The House teachers, Miss Valerie and Miss Renilda trained the
boys well and they placed before all the students the example of General
Michael Magone a student of Don Bosco who seemed restless until he met Don
Bosco and shared his difficulties and problems. The programme was filled with
song and dance that brought out the theme well.
Fr. Rector in his talk to the
students shared with them the story of a young lad Julio who had a desire to be
a great footballer and goalkeeper for 'Real Madrid.' He was selected as a
goalkeeper for the team and one evening in 1963 he went out with his friends to
party and met with an accident at 20. He had to give up his dream. He did not
get discouraged, though he was very sad and depressed. He took to writing poems
and song and when he entered the first singing competition he won the first
prize. The song he sand was 'Life goes on the same.' A footballer turned singer
who became one of the ten greatest singers and sold 300 million copies of his
album: Him name is Julio Iglesias.
