"Eleven Hints for Life"

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
But what is more painful is to love someone and never
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who
means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was
never meant to be and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a
porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose

it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been
missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it
takes a lifetime to forget someone.

6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth,

even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you
smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright.

Mount Everest

7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do.

8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it
hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck
a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may
heal and bless.

10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best
of everything they just make the most of everything that comes
along their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, gows with a kiss, ends with

a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

My Family Summer 2010

Summer break in the heart of the Olympic city 2012 . There is no better time in life than those I have spent learning that the simple things of life are the best and they come with such pleasure and joy that makes life worth living. I enjoyed every bit of time I spent with my family and friends. These boys are just wonderful.
Technology star - this boy can spend a day playing Nintendo DS if not watched but not at my home mate - Auntie don't allow it.
Cheri - the name of my daughter's bicycle. She thinks the cheri is the finest equipment made since man's discovery of machines

These boys think that they are super stars - they don't don't only act and dance they are also very intelligent. What they don't know is that they are real super, super stars

A leader is always a leader. This is the professor of the family - All of them true leaders in the making. For now they are having a wonderful summer break with tjeir aunty Sarah
My youth is renewed - Life is fun when you are around people you love, even if they only around for holidays when they go back home to their parent you are left with sweet memories
My handsome nephews on summer break lazying around Westham park. Boy these boys can talk for England and can sure warm up a home.

Feedback from My Year 11 Students

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.

Wednesday 22th September 2010

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

Student queuing for quarterly routine search

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

Student in Chemistry lesson

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

Student doing extra curricular activity

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.
