"Anger, that toxic emotion, you can't just ignore.” You'll feel better if you let it go. Can you remember an instance when someone points his finger to you blaming you for things you don’t even understand, a situation where you’re not even a part of, accusing you for the crime that’s obviously not your fault? Or simply put- you were blamed because someone’s expectations were not met…Did you experience being embarrassed in front of many people by irresponsible outburst of emotion? How did you react then? Of course, different reactions to different situations. If you really have nothing to do with the situation, natural reaction would be…”What the hell is he doing to me?” Why make himself so mad by shouting at the top of his voice without even trying to find out what really happened prior to the outburst of his “as high as skyscraper’s” voice. In a situation like this- its better to ‘keep your cool’ so you can relay the message with utmost understanding. Moreover,...

Teachers are today’s greatest heroes. We have lots of heroes actually- sportsmen, m edia personalities, supermodels. They come, they have their 15 minutes of fame, and they go. But the popularity of teachers never wanes. My memory is teeming with beautiful thoughts about my teachers then. I have so much to say about them, especially that I was able to witness how patient and how hard working they are. Being educated in a rural public school, I know how hard the life of a teachers, and of course the ordeals that they have to bear,as they are expected then to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. The miracle is that, they accomplished the impossible task with flying colors. Teachers are expected to perform the peculiar dual task of inculcating knowledge while at the same time breaking down resistance to its inculcation. Many expect them to serve to a large degree as surrogate parents dealing with the emotional tangles and torments of the adolescents yea...

How would it feel to know someone is crying because of you at this very moment? How would it feel to simply know that because of you, a person’s beautiful reflection is shattered, like a pretty held with care vase into fragments of baneful glass. I doubt it would feel pleasant. Such guilt would it bring to my conscience If ever I experience such. Deep shame and self blame would overpower my heart. Some things are really best left unsaid. The tongue is indeed sharp, it can slice a person’s dignity clearly in two, if ever certain matters are declared and talked about. So knowing this, why cause an outrage? A scandal? For what purpose? To prolong or extend a new chapter to an already- closed story. Matters were already settled and the broken vase was ‘seemingly’ wholeheartedly fixed. And the story was better left cut short. Why is here a need to open the story for additional writing? Why not think of the consequences when you speak? Why not consider the outcomes befor...

What I do and say are being absorbed by young minds who will echo these images across the ages. My lessons will be immortal, affecting people yet unborn, people I will never see or know. The future of the world is in my classroom today, a future with the potential for good or bad. The pliable minds of tomorrow's leaders will be molded either artistically or grotesquely by what I do. Several future presidents are learning from me today; so are the great writers of the next decades, and so are all the so-called ordinary people who will make the decisions in a democracy. I must never forget these same young people could be the thieves or murderers of the future. Only a teacher? Thank God I have a calling to the greatest profession of all! I must be vigilant every day lest I lose one fragile opportunity to improve tomorrow. ~~~Ivan Welton Fitzwater
