This is my first time of writing in a contest, enjoy.
Hey sweet sixteen, yeah you. So you just turned sixteen, that's good for you. Remember all those boys chasing after you, just be their friend, there is no need to rush.
Very soon you will be going to the university, make sure u read, not just educational books but enlightening and inspirational books because you will need them later in life.
So because your friend Dayo pierced her navel, you also want to do same to feel among? Do what you want because you want it, you might regret it later if you just join the crowd. Always have a mind of your own. 
You eventually made to the first 5 of the basketball team, don't let it get into your head. You might be the 3-point shooter but remember it's a team game.
Oh, so you have a crush on kelvin. Just like most girls, who wouldn't? But believe me it will pass and whenever you remember, you will just laugh it off.
Lastly my advice to you:fill that jamb form very well, don't let decisions be made for you on what course you want to study. Make sure you are going to study what makes you happy and proud.
