Legit.ng speaks with new head boy
When Legit.ng reached out to the newly appointed head boy, Showmade Malik, he shared how the moment felt and what the position means to him.
“I felt really proud of myself, and for a bit of moment I was skeptical if truly I know what I signed up for."
"First head boy from commercial department, got the school talking.”
Explaining why he believes he was chosen for the position, Malik said his brilliance and determination had always made him stand out among his peers.
“The most known reason to me why I've been chosen is because, since my junior school days, I've always been this kind of brilliant student."

“I got really popular in my senior school first year, ’cus I'm used to always trying to outdo the whole class so I got this exposure. Most teachers usually tell me I might end up becoming the head boy. Kept the brilliancy till SS2 and I was later chosen.”
He added that his appointment was met with excitement from his classmates and teachers alike.
"Almost my whole class was happy, especially the commercial department, ’cus I broke a record."
“That even got me the name ‘head of state’ in my class, and even the whole school is starting to call me that. My teachers also were all happy for me, ’cus they all have trust in me I'll do better and be different.”
Speaking about how he plans to balance his leadership role and academics, Malik explained that leadership has always come naturally to him.
“Leadership has always been something that comes to me even tho I try to run away from it,” he said. “Was a class captain in my SS2 year, was the assembly prefect in my junior school, that taught me boldness ’cus I really face a lot of crowd."
"Also thanks to Learntor Foundation, they taught us about leadership in the online boot camp. So with this my experience, I'm sure I'll balance both well. I'll try to use my creativity and creative problem-solving skills to leverage on both aspects of my life.”
When asked if his viral post has changed the way people see him, Malik said it has made a big difference online but not so much in school.
“In school, it hasn't really made a huge impact. But outside school and online it definitely has,” he said. “People I don't know, they know me. Today I encountered up to three people who said they know me from X."
"At school most of my classmates say people ask them who's their head boy, and they be like I've gone real viral. I'm still the regular student and the normal Malik they know in school, and I love it that way.
"But online, I've been getting DMs from people who say they respect my courage and my intelligence and some people encouraging me. I've been getting a lot of messages about my job."
"Hopefully, I'm known for more than just being the head boy of a public school, but also as an upcoming creative, a graphics designer who sees graphics design as a lifestyle and an opportunity to make the world a better place.”
Finally, Malik left a heartfelt message for other students who admire him and look up to his journey.
“Just like we've been taught at Learntor Foundation, social media is written in ink, your footprints won't clean. Be known for something good."
"My advice to other students like me or who look up to me is to always be consistent.
"Consistency is the key and also, not to give up to continue chasing their dreams and believe light is at the end of the tunnel. Also they should utilize social media to their advantage and make the world hear their voice. Also, that no achievement is small, the most little things can make or mar you.”
