Introducing;
*Ìbàràpá Sciences and Mathematics Society- The HEPTAGON*
(Ì—SMS)
Motto: _...investing in Academic Dreams and Reality_
It is with great pleasure that we introduce the Ìbàràpá Sciences and Mathematics Society (Ì-SMS)—to be Codenamed THE HEPTAGON. Our mission is to foster a culture of academic excellence, innovation, and collaboration among students in Ibarapa, with a special focus on sciences and mathematics.
As we strive to promote a community that values knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving, we aim to provide a platform for students to showcase their talents, connect with peers and mentors, and access resources that support their academic and professional growth.
Through our initiatives, we hope to inspire a new generation of leaders, innovators, and change-makers who will drive progress and development in Ibarapa and beyond. We invite students, educators, and stakeholders to join us on this exciting journey, as we work together to build a brighter future for our community.
FOREWORD
“I grew up a trying youngster longing for an academically encouraging environment as a secondary school student and high school leaver. Like a vast majority of others, I was filled with many true and untrue thoughts and notions, not only about life after secondary school but also about aspirations after high schooling-Speaking of my much earlier youthful days, an encouraging environment was largely or totally a mirage, What's the difference today?
Today, I am sharing my experience based on my interactions with some brilliant fellows and friends whose missions to achieve their dream courses were ultimately thwarted, usually due to a lack of perseverance and effective mentorship initiatives. I believe that the HEPTAGON will significantly restore many hopes. We aim to relinquish the inferno of impossibilities plaguing the academics of young minds. With God's guidance, we are ready to put a halt to the diversion of careers left unaddressed.
As a result of our fateful system, Many deprived putative inventors, life savers, professionals, academics, broadcasters, scientists, connoisseurs, accountants, and merchants were astray due to similar afore-stressed reasons. However, as we pray for God-driven innovations, I believe we will serve as guide-lights and career counselors with our gifted brothers and sisters from across our philosophically regular and geographically irregular Heptagon, Ìbàràpá.
We also aim to liaise with innovative like-minded individuals and friends worldwide to focus on the growth of the seven towns constituting Ibarapa. This is the reason for a united league of dream investors called the HEPTAGON. We will do our best, and I wish us the best of luck. We are investing in dreams, and we know we will never fail.”-Adenekan A. J., Initiator, The HEPTAGON.
