What Colour are you?

Funny as the question might sound, but did you know that just as people vary in terms of height, weight, complexion, shape etc., they could be grouped into different ‘colours’ like blue, green, yellow or even red respectively based on their nature? Yes, colour in quote because it has so much to talk about. Notwithstanding, I know you cannot wait to know what colour you are. However, you need not to be in a hurry. After going through this analysis, you will get to know where you belong. It does not really matter whether you are a pupil/student, teacher, or parent whatever.

The BLUES, to begin with, are liken to the ocean. Contrary to your default impression and assumption about them because they are introverts, they are laden with ideas, knowledge and solutions to problem. This is why they are blue- just like the ocean, which is stuffed with pearls, minerals and creatures, of different sizes and economic values that you can hardly see without diving into it. It is an established fact that the aquatic creatures are far more than the terrestrial creatures including the arboreal animals. They are so much that the space on land cannot carry. However, the only way to discover the blues is to give them opportunity to participate. They can be very useful in finding solutions when in tough situation. This is a reason why everyone must be given equal chance to partake.

Next in line are the GREENS. Just like the vegetation i.e. the land, which is capable of burring whatsoever put into it, they are very good in keeping secret. More so, they are as clever as Solomon is. They listen more than they talk. This is to say that they gather ideas and learn more from other peoples’ utterances and mistakes. They have little or no cause to regret in whatsoever they say or do, as they are very careful. On the other hand, the greens could be very sluggish to complete their tasks perhaps last to show up but best done with little or no mistakes. This colour of people could be useful in handling classified info and top secrets because they are reliable. Now you realize that green fellow in your midst.

What about the YELLOWS? Wow! They are very energetic like the colour they represent-the sunshine, extrovert, pragmatic in nature i.e. they believe in action than mere blabbing and are always good to go. Better still, they are honest, and sincere in whatever they say or do. However, they have little or zero tolerance and they complete their tasks as at when due but with whole lot of mistakes. They are very good in making tough decisions and implementing it. The yellows could be useful in heading disciplinary committee. This is because they call a spade, a spade and are not afraid to step on toes. Although they have few friends but they are the best, you can count on.

Lastly, the REDS are authoritative in nature. They are just like fire, as they have zero tolerance for nonsense and excuses. All they are after are achievements and successes. In fact, they can go out of their legit ways to achieve them. They believe the end justifies the means. Due to the bossy nature of the reds, they could be very useful in handling tough situation, making frank decisions and restoring discipline. 

In Great Heights Academy, colours are considered in terms of what task is at hand, where to carry it out, who to execute it and how to. The right person for everything is the standing order. Hence the reason why we are simply the best. Teachers especially embrace all the colours of pupils in their various classes and treat them accordingly. I know you can now imagine what colour you are.
