From Newbie to Coolio: The Epic Entertainment Night of ’96

It’s 1996. I am in SHS 1. It’s my first week in the boarding house. We have entertainment night today. There is a competition for the best rapper title.

I know a new song Gangster’s Paradise by Coolio. I can perform the song. I am chosen to be the cool kid who raps for his dormitory. I borrow a big jacket get a bandana and step up to the stage.

I give my all on stage. It is the first time I am performing.

The results are in. We won the rapping competition for our dormitory. My nickname is Coolio.
