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 ...
I was the financial secretary of my fellowship in year 2015, which I had the fellowship's fund with me.
There where days in school I had no food to eat, there was this particular day I fasted and had nothing to eat, the next day I still didn't eat anything until in the evening when I managed to get garri to drink.
Though I was going through tough time but I didn't touch the fellowship funds.
I kept the financial records of the fellowship so even if I removed some amount, no one would know
The reason many turn greedy is all due to lack of contentment.
So many argue that lack of contentment isn't bad, they believe we should crave for more at all time.
Yes, it really isn't bad to crave for more, but while asking for more make do with what you have presently.
Contentment means to make do with the present while working towards a better tomorrow.
Not been contented is a very great sin that we ignore.
When you're not contented you steal, kill, engage in illegal acts, sell your body just to get more.
My teacher in primary school told me there was a time she boiled water, salt, Maggi, palm oil and she with her kids used it in eating EBA.
I remember those days we drank garri on Christmas day, does days we go into the bush in search of snails to use in cooking.
We were contended.
Today is a product of yesterday, and tomorrow will be a product of today.
Rather than engage in illegal acts just to gain comfort why not prepare yourself for a great tomorrow.
If you tread the wrong path today just to live in comfort, you will regret it tomorrow.
As a child be contented with what your parents can offer today, then study, pray and be determined so that your next today (tomorrow) will be great.
There is great gain in contentment
