MY TALENT, MY PRIDE(TAKING THE RIGHT PATH) Skip to main content

A story of my confused state

  2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that ...

MY TALENT, MY PRIDE(TAKING THE RIGHT PATH)


she wiped out the tears that runned down her eyes, she still wished this was a nightmare. "yeh ahh is this how my life ended.is this a dream..."she said as she went into deep thought of had i known.

this little light of mine, am gonna let it shine 2ce
       let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
        yeah...this little light of mine... The congregation clapped as Mary dropped the microphone. yes, another awesome ministration,they could feel the presence of God in their mist. Mary is an awesome minister of songs, it was just beyond the normal singing,she is blessed with an angelic voice. everyone loved her ministration, they always love it when its Mary singing.

Mary has always aspired to be great, and she was son sure that greatness was going to be achieved through singing. she sat on her bed one sunny Friday afternoon thinking about how her greatness was going to be achieved."i just want to go beyond the church want to be known"she said to her herself still wondering what her next step should be and suddenly..."yes yes yes"she rushed towards her wardrobe as she brought out a flier from her bag, yes that same flier she received on her way back from the church.  it was an invitation to an audition where young talents are been showcased to the world, she smiled and prepared herself looking forward to the d-day.

"sir what are you trying to say. its obvious i was best at my performance...why this" she looked at the judge who didn't care a bit about how she felt. "see Mary your talent isn't all you need to win this competition ooo, huh you had better agree to my proposal or you would lose your position to a wiser person" the judge told her as he adjusted his glasses."opportunity comes but once. don't just stand there and watch someone else take your position. are you ready?  " Mary was lost, she cant just afford to lose this fame..." she thought to herself then faced the judge "ill do it sir" "wow wow what a great decision. OK lets hurry to my hotel" the two then left.

" and the winner of this year talent hunt is no other person thann.... KINGSLEY SUSAN" everyone clapped as Susan walked to collect her prize but the celebration was disrupted by a great shout backstage "someone has fainted ooo..." the voice shouted.

The shock of her life was when the doctor told her she is HIV positive, had she known she wouldn't have yielded. all because of fame, she just wanted to be great, she wanted the world to hear her but she took the wrong path and now have been confined to the hospital bed.

The sound of the door made her come back to reality, she cried even more,she wished she had never said yes.

HOW TO COPE WITH SLOW LEARNERS

I remember my first experience with a slow learner. At first I thought he was just lazy but later I realised it wasn't laziness. He was always quite, doesn't answer questions in class and rarely relate with his peers. Within months of my stay in the school I started noticing some changes in my boy. He now attempts assignment and classwork given. He talks in class and now relates well with his classmates. The trick is to first make them feel safe in class rather than make your expectations a burden to them. Over the years I've had to teach slow Learners and it has been a wonderful experience. The link below is a podcast where I talked on how to cope with Slow Learners. It's a ten minutes audio that summarizes strategies you can put in place when you have a slow learner in class. If you have questions, I'll be glad to answer them. https://anchor.fm/MissDairo%20/episodes/How-to-cope-with-Slow-Learners-ef5bj4 Don't forget to leave a comment and share w...
