They don't know they're my real teachers.
NOUN CS student π₯οΈ | Teacher at my mum's school βοΈ
I don't attend lectures. I teach them.
The kids think I'm just their teacher. Truth is? They're teaching me patience, clarity, and how to debug a crying child before a line of code.
So my exams are starting off today.
I'll be writing CIT237 this morning by eleven.
I'm not a hundred percent prepared though πͺ
But I'm not tensed either.
I know I'd do well.

Their system works. Don't question it.

They both have the name Francis. But whenever the name is used, we already know who is being referred to β ...
Back from another stressful day at school.
Had to take the kids on a lesson on "Time" - mathematics.
A whole lot of these kids can barely say the time accurately from an analogue clock.
They're just too accustomed to the digital clock.
Life!

No drugs. No smoking. Soda? Once in a while.
Everything has a reason.
This is no longer about being a "good child" or "bad child" or whatever.
I know that in the end, God saves a person β but they say heaven helps those who help themselves.

An actor just died at 40. Liver cancer.
It's really concerning.
I'll definitely love my time on this earth β and I must spend every amount of money I earn. No one will do the spending after I've worked

It made me realize something else too:
Sometimes the people who love you most will still protect their reputation β but the people who love you well will protect you first.
I think I have the second kind.

The homily in church today took a turn.
The priest asked the elderly a question β and it was sharp:
