Her go-to quote is from Ecclesiastes 9:10: "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." That’s how she lives her life—giving her best to everything she does. One of her most cherished RSS memories was when the school hosted the Aionian Games. She also remembers Literature in English classes with Mr. Ogidan, especially when reading Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Her favorite line from the play is "If music be the food of love, play on." She was especially fond of English Language and had great admiration for Mr. Okoro, who taught Government. For today’s students at RSS—and for her younger self—Yetunde’s advice is simple: Just do it. Focus. Work hard. There are no other ways to success. She believes in discipline and doing your best, even when no one is watching.
