Dropping out of school in the 3rd form which is the equivalent of the 10th grade in 1968,I had another opportunity to go back to school working for a judge .In 1969,not able to satisfy his wife's draconian rules, I had to step down again until 1976 when a philanthropist came to my aid Mr. Sahr Martin Ngombu Gbolie of blessed memory founder and proprietor of Kono Model Academy, may his soul rest in peace. He offered me board and lodging and free tuition for two years, thereby helping me to graduate from high school in 1978.After graduating he offered me a teaching job. As a sports teacher and assistant teacher in government and religious knowledge, I served the school for two years and eventually went to the Milton Margai's Teachers college in 1980.
