My perspective about life is not about doing everything by myself...

My perspective about life is not about doing everything by myself but there are times I cultivate the habit of thinking independently instead of hiding behind what I have learnt from society. Staying true to myself and still stay strong even when I'm faced with disappointments or any immoral situation.

I choose to embrace my individuality and strive bravely toward my goals. Even when family, friends and society disappoint, I choose to fight and face every challenge life throws at me.

I always keep in mind that not all will understand how I feel, where I'm going and why I do what I do.

I choose to be self-reliant because they will be times when there's no help available.

I learn to live independently and be happy by myself, in myself, and about myself without needing to rely on others.

I chose to be self-reliant!

Love Yourself, Even Alone.

One aspect of life that I never get tired of preaching about is the concept of self-love . Self-love is an essential component of a fulfilling life, and it's crucial to learn to love yourself even when others may not. When you love yourself, you're more likely to have positive relationships, make better decisions, and enjoy a sense of inner peace and contentment. It's important to remember that not everyone will appreciate or accept you for whom you are, and that's okay. People have their own beliefs, preferences, and biases that can influence how they view others. However, it's essential to focus on your own self-worth and not let the opinions of others define your sense of self. Learning to love yourself takes time and practice. It’s an everyday struggle that I myself have to deal with, especially at the start of my career and involvement with friends and strangers. It involves acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses, embracing your imperfections, and trea...

Teaching in an underserved school like mine has been a challenging and rewarding experience - 5 things I learned.

I teach in a low-income farming community called Joga Orile, a small village in the part of Yewa North Ogun state, Nigeria. When I got to this community, I realize that the community only has one public primary school among many private schools. But when checking the private schools here, the numbers of pupils are not many compare to my school but there is this challenge of limited resources to satisfy the large pool of pupils that most times can't afford to buy learning materials like notebooks, textbooks, rulers, etc. At some times in my fellowship here as a Teach For Nigeria fellow I am glad to have received support from friends and some civil society organizations to come to help curb this challenge. I know there is more work to be done and I will never stop until I drive for better innovation and policies to be designed and implemented to battle this problem. I'm almost getting to the end of my fellowship here in this community and I will like to share 5 things I lear...
