He says for him, this is his divine calling to assist and teach students that nothing comes easy in life.

Raboiliku also gave credit to Marist Principal, Asish Dayal.

He says Dayal has been there from day 1 and so many things were said about him and his decision to let go of all the old coaches and bring in the new coaches.
