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 ...

LESSONS OF LIFE FROM AN EXPRESS ROAD

was seated in the BRT bus on Monday and i decided to peep through the windows, and to my greatest surprise i was given a complete view of life. Most times inspirations comes from things or people we least expect, the view of the under bride road gave me a complete different view about life. Now before I list the views I got I would want to point out the following scenario that takes place on the express road. We are familiar with the way cars race past and are only stopped by traffic which rarely occurs We also are familiar with the way those guys selling stuffs on the road try to catch up with some vehicles so as to sell their wares. Am sure you’ve also witness where a gala seller sells gala to someone in a car and before he can collects his money the vehicle races off. I also realized we only buy from those who are fast enough to get to vehicle even while it is moving Have you also noticed those super swift guys who run faster than Usain Bolt just to sell...

ASK, SEEK AND FIND ( THE KNOWN SECRET)

 good day great-minds, am sure you all are familiar with Mattew 7:7 which talks about asking, seeking, and finding. some days ago this verse just kept on coming through my mind and by God's grace i was able to get a key thing about this passage. we sometimes wonder why our prayers don't get answered 😞😞 but the thing is they do get answered but we are just so unaware of that.😱😱 Mattew 7:7 says ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you. ill try to make this as brief as possible with some headings👍👍 ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE to ask simply means to request for something. When we ask God for something ( something good and sincere thou) He tends to give it to us. the problem here is we sometimes don't know we have gotten it, God encourages hard-work so even when He is giving you something you asked for you will still need some hard-work to get it. when you ask the answer is packaged waiting for you to...

CHILDREN

"groundnut 50 50 naira buy your groundnut" "chin chin here, sweet chin chin" the rhythm their voices created calmed my nerves. i smiled as the youngest of them walked up to me " Aunty you wan buy groundnut?" " no dearie thanks though " i smiled if only she knew i haven't eaten anything since morning and even had to stand on the queue for hours waiting for BRT just because no money. their smile s, the way they chatted as they moved selling their stuffs. they weren't shy of what they sell, their laughter was just enough to make you forget the stress faced at work. " you no fit give me two for #50 abi" " sir na 1 we dey sell #50 no be two" "oya make i taste if the groundnut sweet" he packed a handful of groundnut while the little girl looked on hoping he would buy after the tasting. " the groundnut sef no sweet, i no fit buy am jare" bros you think you will make heaven abi i...

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...

Hello friends today we would be studying the book of MAT 25:14-30 in a different way SUMMARY OF THE PARABLE OF THE THREE SERVANTS a particular master was about to go on a journey so he gave his first servant 5 talents, the second 2 talents and the last servant 1 talent after which he went on his journey. the first servant traded with his talents and added 5 more to it, the second servant also did the same and added 2 more but the last servants thought that he has been cheated, he felt he wasn't loved by his master so rather than trading with his talent he hid it until the return of his master.

EXPLANATION OF THE PARABLE The parable above is just exactly what happened when we all were been sent to the world. We were given talents which we ought to trade with here on earth ...

UNDERSTANDING the way to PERFECTION

Perfect sontin!!! I want a perfect job, husband,wife, boyfriend,girlfriend, I want to be perfect. These are demands we make daily. You can't get a perfect sontin, job, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend... These are answers we get when we ask for the above. What exactly is perfection? Though the dictionary defined it as without fault, weakness, to be complete, exact and correct But in the actual sense understanding comes before perfection There is actually no perfect human on earth, but there perfect humans on earth if understanding is placed first. Perfection to me is "knowing the fault, weakness, lack... Of a person, thing, job or yourself, understanding it is already a part of them and deciding those you can change and those that can't be changed, then seeing the person, thing, job or yourself as perfect. For someone or something to be perfect You must have listed out their weakness and faults. Note those you can change and work on them Note those you can...
