Dormitory drama – (Part 1)Mattress madness
Boarding house life has a way of teaching lessons no classroom can deliver. One moment you are chasing a midnight slapper through a dark dormitory, the next you are returning to find your mattress gone and your pride questioned. That night on bare metal springs reshaped my thinking. It pushed me into a mission that ended with a mattress I never bought and a story that never left me. Unity Secondary School had its drama, but it also had a strange way of preparing us for real strategy, fast decisions and survival at scale.
