From time to time stop and ask for a very honest opinion form people around you. This is what I got when I ask my students for their feedback on my teaching. The feedback where anonymously written.

I think Ms T's teaching is really good, she has made me understand the values' of this lesson and made me extend my knowledge of the subject. In the short time she has been teaching us my grades have improved greatly. She is a very valuable asset to everyone and the school and she has encourage us and place so my emphasis on the important of us getting education. I would rather have her teach me for the rest of the year. Student A

Dear Ms T,

I think that you are a very good teacher and you have taught me a lot. I like the way you always encourage me and push me to do the best i can, I hope that you will keep doing the work that you do because you care a lot about the students and that is the best thing a teacher could do. you are very patient and very friendly but has your limits. You always make sure that your do the students and you don't like it when children have bad manners. I hope that you have a good life and people and students respect you, I also hope that you achieve your dreams and may God bless you and your family. Student B

Dear Teacher,

I think Ms T is a very good teacher. She has helped me improve my studies and I think she is very helpful. Ms T has guided me to improve on my grades. When she joined the school I was in year 10 and the teacher that she is covering put my target grade as D but with Ms T's help I was able to get an A for my Health & Social Care exam. Although English is my second language she has made me work hard in my studies and help build my confidence, she also made it easier for me to understand the subject. Student C

About Ms T,

I think that Ms T is a good teacher. She has a lot of patients and tries to get everyone involved. She is confident when teaching and even stay after-school to help her us. She is friendly but her her lints and has a zero tolerance when it come to education. She always includes the children that can't speak English properly and treats everyone the same and fairly. She is very considerate and is will to go over something if you don't understand. Student D

Ms T is an okay teacher not my best choice but she is all right, taught me things I didn't know in Health and Social Care. Student E

Ms T, You have been a good teacher and I have enjoyed being taught by you. Student F

I think Ms T is a great teacher. I like her teaching style, she explains everything clearly also her sense of humour is good because I think people feel more comfortable in class. I personally think Ms T has helped me a lot and I understand more and I have gained more confident in class. Student G

I think Ms is good but because she don't teach as good as Miss F, I don't stay focus on my work. Sometimes I don't understand what she is saying and instead of asking what she said she just carry on. Also she couldn't control the class when I get out of hand she kept calling the head of department. Student G

Ms T is a good teacher but I find it difficult to understand what she is actually saying. Although Ms F accent was the same but her English was more clearer than Ms T. Also Ms T couldn't control the class when some of us are talking or messing around. Student H

There is only one direction for our youth and young children and that is the direction of education - stop looking at their behaviour and look at what lies within each and everyone of them. They are our future leaders. Whatever we are teaching them will not go in vain -Remember we were children too. There is goodness within everyone of them.

I like Ms T style of teaching. If she notice that you are knee and putting an effort into your learning, she will go all out to help you. If you really want to learn something she will teach you but if you are a student who like messing around she won,t bother much with you which I think is fair. She also likes to motivate and encourage us about our future Ms T is a good teacher and you have to give her a chance or you won't learn nothing. Student I

Dear Ms T,

I thank you very much for teaching me this academic yea. At first I didn't think you would be able to control our class because of some people. But I've come to realise that although your teaching style is different, I've learnt a lot in this short period in which you've been teaching us.

I think you've helped me a lot with the coursework and given me important feedback. I also enjoy your lesson because you make it fun while we learn. Thanks. Student K

Regardless of what my students thinks of me one thing I desire so much is that all of them will get to the top of their dreams and calling.

Ms T you teach well but you don't teach to the standard of Miss F. When you explain the work you don't explain it properly. Also you change the topics too quickly other than that you are a good teacher. Yours sincerely Student H

I think Ms T is a very good teacher and very understanding and caring. She is very valuabe to us and the school. I would like her to stay and teach us until the end of year 11. Student I

Ms, thank your for teaching me this year. You have taught me a lot. Firstly I thought I wouldn't be able to learn anything because of the class not taking you seriously. However now I feel that you raise above the students behaviour and am very happy because now we listen and take you more serious . Forgive me for everything I've done wrong. X Student J

Love after Love

The time will come when, with elation,

you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror,

and each will smile at the other's welcome.

and say, sit here, Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was yourself.

Give win. Give bread. Give back your heart

to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored for another.

who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photograph's, the desperate notes,

peel your own image from the mirror.

Sit, Feast on your life.

Derek Walcott, "Love after Love"

Gossip

My name is Gossip.

I have no respect for justice.

I maim without killing.

I break hearts and ruin lives.

I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age.

The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.

My victims are helpless.

The cannot protect themselves against me because I have not name and no face.

To track me down is impossible.

The harder you try, the more elusive I become.

I am nobody's friend.

Once I tarnish a reputation, it's never the same.

I topple governments and wreck marriages.

I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches and indigestion.

I make innocent people cry in their pillows.

Even my name hisses.

I am called Gossip.

I make headlines and headaches.

Before you repeat a story, ask yourself:

Is it true? Is it harmless?

Is it necessary?

If it isn't, don't repeat it.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF

There comes a time in our life when we want to be appreciated and love.

But how do you expect someone, anyone to fall in love with you when you are not in love with yourself? As a matter of fact, there is no crime in you loving yourself. Loving oneself is the greatest reward that anyone can give themselves and the world. By loving yourself, you will find it easier to love those around you and those afar. A text in one of the oldest book in the word stated that "one should love one's neighbour as you love yourself." In other words, you will never be able to love anyone around you, meaning your sibling, husband, boyfriend, children, friends, colleague etc, if you have not first love yourself. Loving yourself is not a van act nor is it egoistic, however, it is an act expected of you by the universe.

In our modern society, one of the common set back to loving ourselves is unforgiveness, others can be lack of trust, greed, incontentment and the list can go on and on. The question is, why hold on to something that does not produce additional effect to your living? Why hold on to an act of yester years when the world around you is rapidly changing for the better? Why give someone the best part of your golden years only to wake up one day to find out that they did you look after it in anyway? That's what happens when you hold on to unforgiveness - the person your are holding to, goes on living while you keep blaming them and when you finally wake up and approach them, their usually reply goes like this, " I didn't remember that I did this or that." Therefore, holding on to things or someone can only be detrimental to you and not the person. In the future, when someone does anything that displeases you, confront them immediately ( I don't mean rudely) but tell them how you feel or forgive them immediately and move on with your life.

You are the best thing that can happen to you. You are the love that your are searching for, you are the hand that needs to huge you and comfort you. Don't let anyone or anything rob you form that. You are your first love!

Today, after reading this blog, set time aside for yourself. Find out what is it that has stopped your from loving yourself. Find time to reflect, forgive everyone or anything that has hurt you in anyway. Forgive yourself for dwelling holding on to un-forgiveness all these days or years. Give thanks to the universe that at this point in time - You have been given the opportunity to let go of all the pain and sorrows that you've been holding on to. Give thanks that you have been given a second change to start a new page of falling in with you.

Be ready to receive the goodies that the universe is sending you. All your expectation will be rewarded to you. "For the expectation of the upright shall not be cut short." You will shine again, after all we are all children of the universe, I am only important because you are.. Love yourselves with all that you are and have, for it is your God given right.

Remember, "Life and death are in the power of the tongue." Whatever you are going through keep smiling and speak life in all things.

May your day be as bright as the sun and as happy as king.

Our Deepest Fear

Our Deepest Fear

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are younot to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." by Marianne Williamson
