"Instead of asking our students what they want to be when they grow up, we should ask them what problem they want to solve. We should ask them to think about what knowledge, skills, and abilities they need to solve that problem."

So yeah. I told him I’d keep in touch, and to not say that he said anything just yet. I’ve had a lot of time to think but ultimately I decided to wait until she gave birth. To hurt her in her most vulnerable moment.
I’ll spare the details, but she went into labor, baby was born, and was taken to the NICU to be monitored for a bit. What should’ve been a beautiful moment of me holding my baby, was the most heartbreaking time of my life. Just knowing he was not mine hurt me. Once she was sewn up and comfortable I started packing up my stuff to leave. She asked where I was going and I just told her.
Keep shining despite who’s not for you. Keep being your best despite who doesn’t give you the credit. You’re not working unto people; you’re working unto God. He's keeping the records. You don’t need their approval. You have Almighty God’s approval.
Zimbabwe Abolishes Death Penalty
Zimbabwe has officially abolished the death penalty as the Death Penalty Abolition Act becomes law. The new legislation prohibits courts from imposing death sentences for any crimes, ensures that the Supreme Court cannot confirm existing death sentences, and prevents any execution of those previously sentenced to death.
This milestone follows a private member’s bill introduced in 2023 by opposition MP Edwin Mushoriwa. He successfully pushed to amend key laws, including the Criminal Law Code and the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act. Prisoners currently on death row will now have their sentences reviewed and replaced with alternative penalties.
