Diligence and Hardwork  by Tutor Williams In the halls of First Model School we stand, With diligence and hard work at hand, Each student striving to succeed, With passion and determination we lead.   From early morning until the day's end, We work tirelessly, never to pretend, that success comes easy or without toil, But through hard work and sweat, we will not recoil.   For success is earned, not given for free, And through perseverance, we will see, That our efforts will pay off in the end, As we reach new heights and ascend.   So let us push ourselves to new heights, And never give up without a fight, For at First Model School we stand tall, With diligence and hardwork, we will never fall.   So dear students, keep pushing through, With hard work and dedication, you'll breakthrough, For the sky's the limit, reach for the stars, And remember, success is never too far.
