DIRECTION to your LOCATION 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 ...

DIRECTION to your LOCATION

I can't sleep, I rolled on the bed, closed my eyes a thousand times but still no sleep.
I can hear the voice clearly, it wouldn't stop speaking so I decided to write it down.

You were invited to a party and was told to be there in time since the party would end by 4pm.
The venue of the party is unknown to you so is the direction and you didn't speak.

You got to know so many others were invited to a party thou you're not so sure its the same party but you convinced yourself the direction should be the same.

Friends and family guessed the venue of the party so they too gave you directions.
You still didn't deem it fit to ask the one who invited you the venue and direction to the party.
"Persin no fit lose for Nija now" you told your naive self.

It is the d-day, you set out with friends and family based on their directions.
You got to the party but they wouldn't let you enter. "This isn't your party" they tell you.

You check the time 2pm, you're late, would you get there in time?.
You're confused, the directions given to you lead you elsewhere.

3pm it then occurred to you, you forgot to ask the one who invited you.
You give him a call, he told you the venue and direction of the party.

You got there 4pm
The gates are closed
Everyone is gone
And so is the food and presents you were expecting.

You where created for a reason, I'm sure you're aware your presence on earth isn't a mistake.
To everyman a purpose
Our stay on earth is temporary
There is somewhere for eternity
You're here on an assignment

Just like the party your time on earth is limited.
So many of us are yet to find the reason for our creation
We try to follow the path of others forgetting we were given our own path.

The clock is ticking
Time is going
Go back to the one who created you
Get to know your purpose and how to fulfill it.

The master is on his way
The gates would soon be closed
Find your own path
I know you might have gone astray but He is ever ready to give you the direction to your location.

Present yourself ready for the masters use
Don't follow the way of friends and family
Thou their directions might look too rosy and that of God too narrow
But God's direction is the only one which leads to your location

Remember
It was God who designed your location
Bola, Mercy and Lola weren't there
Only God knows
Ask Him today

MY TALENT, MY PRIDE( DISCOVER YOURSELF)

Bola,Tayo, Ayo amd Bimpe where very close friends. they are the type of kids every parents would always pray to have. Bola was a very talented singer, she sings like an angel and everyone adores her. Tayo too was a good dancer, he is so flexible that one would wonder if his body where made of foam. Ayo wasn't left out, he was so good with spellings, he could spell words those older than him would find difficult spelling. Bimpe felt like the odd one out,"why am i the one without a talent"she would always say to herself. whenever she went out with her friends for talents audition she would always feel left out because she has nothing to present. she would always cry her eyes out sometimes wishing she was her friends. she envied her friends talents and most times prayed to God to make her a singer, dancer or a good speller. when she saw her prayers have been ignored by God she started attending dance and music classes, she would always go to her friend Ayo to teach ...

HOW I LOST MY JOB

HOW I LOST MY JOB (2016) The company's new managing director called me into his office. MD: Titi I'm very sure you're aware of the financial setback this company is facing and right now all hands ought to be on deck towards restructuring the company. Me: Yes Sir MD: Right now I need people that can get me ten million naira per month through marketing and the way I'm seeing you, you can't befriend those men that can put money into this business. Or can you? Me: No Sir MD: Well, I need those who can go to any length to get me that money. In that case your service is no longer needed here... I couldn't get another job for months until February when I got the teaching job, I was told I'm going to be paid an amount which is my previous salary divided by 3. I was already crying inside me, it was like a grace to grass story but man has gat no choice so I accepted it. I knew if I was to base my teaching on my salary it won't turn out well so I had to...

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...
