Each time . when I ask my class to turn to a particular page before teaching , smarty pants would always answer , ' Teacher , no got .' I was like .......................... 'What' !!!!!!!!! What is no got ? I have never heard this line before in my entire life .
Me : "What is no got Danish ?"
Danish : " No got la teacher ".
Me : " But what does it actually means ?"
Danish : Means , I cannot find the page ."
Me : "Then you have to say "I can't find the page , teacher and not no got ."
Danish : " But I say that all the time , even at home also ".
Okay D boy if you insisit on saying it , heck go ahead .
How have I grown and how I have steam rolled and paved the way with good intentions.... and still trying to

Hate
Hate is a strong word . God says that we should never hate anyone and not even ourself . I remember hating myself so much ... no matter what I did or said , by the end of the day I hated myself even more .
Nothing could be said , I was sinking , I did not know what to do and my guardian angel ........ I left her out in the cold . She told me to take her hand and trust her .. but I could not because I did not trust myself even then ....
It was a darkest time for me , and I sunk in deeper and deeper .. no one could save me ... it was a time then I heard my angel calling out to me . I awoke and saw ..... I grasp her hand and Iwas out of the dark .... and now I live .. live to tell my tale .... I stopped hating myself ... I moved on .. and now I am free ...

Mother's Day Yesterday
I drew two hearts and got the kids to colour it .. some wanted to colour the heart green , one wanted to colour it purple ( so romantic ) ... the list went on ....
Once it was done , I cut it out and attached a straw to it . It looked so nice , Seriously , it did . Then , I told them to hold up the hearts that they coloured . All I could see was a sea of pink and there was a whole lot of love in my class .
Then , I took some pictures with my phone . But too bad , I do not have the equipment to post in into my blog for all of you to see . Perhaps next time .. anyway they all looked cute ..
I asked them to sing , I love You Dear Mama and after teaching them the song for only 3 days , the managed to sing the whole song for me ... It was truly a nice Friday .... I was very proud of them for singing that song . It meant a lot to me .

Thankfulness
For me ,being thankful means having the most simplest life . I am thankful for almost all of the things in my life . It could be anything at all.
I use to teach my students that being thankful means , that deep down in their hearts , even if someone offers them a small gift or a sweet , they have to be thankful for it . I tell them stories about thankfulness and you will be surprised with the answers that they come up with .
It's easier to teach children than adults .. I cannot blame or pass any judgement . But one thing is for sure , no matter what , when we educate children at a very young age , they seem to receive and retain what we adults tell them . I will remember moments like this because when a child is young , it is easier to mold them . When they grow up ,it will be a different story entirely .

Beads ..
So far I have completed 6 beads .. yes ans I am very proud of myself . G has given me some eye pins . Bless her .. I prayed before I started and I told Mother Mary that I am making this rosary for her .
It was hard at first because I was missing a plier . My fingers hurt too . Asked dad to go get me the flat nosed plier . And now with the plier in hand , I have to get used to the idea of working with both hands . Easier said than done .. I spent a good 15 mins putitng the eye pin into one bead ...... sheesh .. but the finished product ? Good I could not tell them apart .... hmmm
I am enjoying beading .... and it very relaxing . Iam so into this that I just cannot wait to order more beads .....
Mother Mary , please help me to complete the rosary for you ....
