This week on our , Nashe Taderera shares how Gateway High School shapes character, builds leaders, and grows your faith in God 🙏.
This is what she had to say about the impact our school had on her:
"Firstly, Gateway High School shaped me far beyond academics. One of the biggest lessons was spiritual grounding. Through daily devotions and the school’s partnership with Gateway parents, I was trained to build a personal relationship with God, not just follow religion as a routine. That habit of seeking God first carried into my university life and adulthood, and it gives me perspective and hope when things get stressful.
The Life Skills department taught me lessons I use every single day. I learned a lot of emotional intelligence, and how to build respectful relationships with all kinds of people. Gateway’s culture of discipline and respect for elders taught me humility. Whether it’s a lecturer, a cleaner, or a colleague, I learned to value everyone. At the same time, presenting in devotions and different class projects built my confidence and helped me speak with clear, articulated English. That confidence shows up now in university presentations and in the workplace.
Gateway also taught me to be clean and presentable. We learned that neat hair and clean nails matter. Being smartly dressed shows respect for yourself and others. First impressions matter and being well-presented opens doors and shows professionalism.
Sports, clubs like drama, and other activities taught me consistency, discipline, fitness, and teamwork. In a world where lifestyle illnesses are rising, those habits keep me healthy and active.
Gateway also taught me to be a “glowing star” through humility, not arrogance. So when I walk into any space, I carry discipline, respect, confidence, and a servant heart.
Overally, Gateway didn’t just teach subjects. It taught life. The combination of godliness, discipline, life skills, confidence, and being well-presented has made me the person I am today. Without those lessons, I would have struggled much more to adapt to university and adult life."
Well done Nashe 👏👏. Keep flying the Gateway flag high.
