Goodwall - The Life Changing App is the inspiring story of Dera, a sixteen-year-old student in Senior Secondary School. Dera’s dream was to sit for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) alongside her classmates, but her parents were unable to afford the registration fees.

As the WASSCE registration deadline approached, Dera found herself in a difficult predicament. However, unwavering support from her family and the encouraging words of Mrs. Nnaji kept her determined, despite facing ridicule from others.

One day, Dera’s elder brother, Andrew, returned from his own school and shared with Dera about Goodwall, an app that had helped countless students. Initially, it seemed too good to be true, but Dera decided to give it a try by participating in Goodwall challenges.

Dera and Jennifer headed to the cafeteria for lunch, and Jennifer bought some bread and milk for both of them. As they sat down to eat, Jennifer suddenly remembered Dera's crush on Goodwall.

'You never told me you already have a crush. Are you afraid I might snatch him away from you?' Jennifer teased, taking a bite of her bread.

'What?' Dera almost spat out her milk in surprise.

'So, Dera, anything you want to share about your new crush?' Jennifer continued teasing, raising an eyebrow suspiciously.

'Not yet? Why can't you tell me?' Jennifer asked, genuinely curious.

'You're free to have a crush on Goodwall,' Dera said, nudging Jennifer gently. 'I'll talk about it when I'm certain and ready.'

Jennifer couldn't help but laugh. 'Sure, Dera, that'd be great.'

Back in the classroom, Jennifer was working on some challenging advanced math problems. When she came across a problem she didn't understand, Jennifer poked Dera's arm.

'Bestie, can you take a look at this? Should I solve it this way or is there a better method?'

Upon seeing the math problem, Dera smiled and said, 'Yes, you're on the right track.'

'Is there another approach?' Jennifer enquired.

'Yes, you could solve it using an algorithm,' Dera suggested.

'Isn't that a more complex method?' Jennifer waved her hand dismissively. 'I'm fine with this approach. I don't want to complicate things in my head. I hate being greedy.'

Dera chuckled. 'You're approaching the math problem in the simplest way, but there are other methods to solve it. If you want, I can explain them to you.'

'Forget it,' Jennifer laughed and continued with her work.

'Jennifer,' Abraham greeted, giving Jennifer a friendly fist bump as he made his way to the back of the classroom.

Jennifer turned to him, feeling a surge of irritation but paused when she noticed Abraham holding two doughnuts.

'You sure you don't want this?' Abraham offered, holding up one of the doughnuts.

Jennifer nodded, her annoyance fading as she smiled gratefully. 'Actually, I'd love to have one.' She stood up from her seat and walked over to Abraham.

'I thought you didn't want it?' he teased, playfully tossing the doughnut at Jennifer.

Jennifer chuckled and caught the doughnut, taking a big bite. 'Thanks,' she said with a mouthful of food. She turned and headed back to her seat.
