IT TAKES MORE THAN THE SCHOOL, “IT TAKES A VILLAGE”

Early childhood educators have one of the most rewarding and tasking jobs. They are in charge of preparing young minds for the challenges and opportunities discovered as they embark on their educational careers. I like to say we make or break them because if the foundation is weak, the house will eventually fall. A day has twenty-four hours; the appropriate sleep time for a preschooler is between 10 to 13 hours but averagely between 8 to 9 hours of sleep. Now let’s minus 10 hours from 24 hours, we are left with 14 hours of conscious time with these children, lets split 14 hours into two halves. The school is responsible for one half or slightly more active time than the parents and well you have the other 7 hours or slightly less with your child. The question is, what do you do with those hours? It is true that the school has a great role to play in the academic success of a child but it is also true that it takes a village to raise a child. Now this simply means that it’s a paren...

MIRACLES

There was a study done on 100 dying people and the question was what are your biggest regrets? majority of them didn't regret the things they did but the things they did not do, the life they never went after, the risks they never dared to take. life throws a lot of things at us but what do we make of those moments? Most of us aren't scared of dying but of the fact that we never truly lived. living is not just going to work, waiting on month end, the salary and the endless cycle over again. Take risks, go places, fall in love, get hurt, love again, take that leap and hope your wings doesn't fail and even if it does, you will have stories to tell, dreams that came to reality. That is what life is, lets not forget the haters, but don't be scared for stars can't shine without darkness. Worry less about things especially the things you don't have the power to change, even this verse confirms it    “Therefore I tell you,  do not be anxious about your life, what...

THE KEY

Written by Amarachi Chima Presented by David Gyan, a 9year old in year 6 at Awesome Kids Academy, Gwarinpa, Abuja. I’m not here to go against the saying that says education is the key But we live in a time where knowledge is judged by English language, and intelligence by grades. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerburg, Richard Branson,  These are few of the richest men on earth today They have one thing in common they all dropped out of the university. And so I wonder, is EDUCATION truly the Key? To me regardless of a formal education,  The key to everything we do is dedication, hardwork and consistency

NO PERFECT BEING

No man was made perfect, but we can only strive to be, even angels are not perfect if not why is Lucifer and the other fallen angels where they are. One mistake can cost you a lot but one mistake can also save you a lot, God isn't looking for a perfect being if not he wouldn't leave 99 sheep in search of one lost sheep. From every mistake there is a moral don't be too angry or frustrated at the person or yourself to see it. As I said God didn't make us to be angels, stop trying to be one, He made you a being with all the flaws for without hate you can't appreciate love, without sadness you truly can’t know joy, without troubles you can't understand peace of mind. I believe in peace, I believe in one true God, I believe in love, I believe in forgiveness. Sometimes it’s not that we can't forgive but our pride takes the best of us and I have seen it bring down kings, queens and empires. So today at this very moment let go of the pains, worries and had I kn...

PERCEPTION

By Amarachi Chima We live in a time Where beauty is judged by complexion  And intelligence by English language where independence is good but as a lady not so good We live in a time where deaths are more celebrated than life where short cuts are encouraged And decorated thieves celebrated Oh we live in a time where love has no meaning, so deceit becomes ok How then do you teach my generation and those below That honesty is the best policy when looters walk free When these leaders we look up to drag their names through mud Or is leadership no longer by example? Is a good name no longer better than gold? We no longer want to be leaders of tomorrow Please make us leaders of today We no longer want to watch your corrupt ways Please teach us right Feed us with substance that will last.

VIRGINITY WITHOUT EXTRA OIL

So I read this awesome post by a friend and I had to ask her permission to share and she gave it. So enjoy a good read my lovely readers A lot of ladies complain that guys walk away from them simply because they refused to give them sex, some are even tempted to give away their virginity just to keep the guys. Let me be very blunt here. Virginity may not be the real reason the guys go away. Yes, no doubt, there are several guys who want sex, and if they don’t get it they walk away. The problem may not be with the virginity or the sex. The story of the Ten virgins in the Bible reveals that both the wise and foolish were both virgins, the other five were not refused from seeing the bridegroom because they were virgins or because they lost their virginity, but because they were foolish; they were called foolish because they had no EXTRA OIL. Most ladies don’t have any EXTRA OIL to sustain any relationship. While many brag about their virginity, that is all they have to offer, the...
