About my new job, yes I got a fantastic job in a very prestigious International School in Abuja. I resumed on the 7th of September and spent the first week attending in-house trainings while anticipating the meeting with my new students. On the eve of September 14th, the day slated for resumptions, I could barely sleep due to excitement. I rehearsed my grand entrance over and over again, trying to imagine the kind of students I would meet.

My first lesson was beautiful too, the year 8 students came in and were treated to an introduction and class procedures and routines which they have adhered to ever since with only a few reminders.
What can say about my Year 12 students(average age 16)! there was a lot of sizing-up and cutting down to size in our first lesson- I doing the latter of course.
Year 12 student: Sorry I didn't catch your name.
Me: I don't remember throwing it!
This is just one of the many funny incidents in my first meeting. But we are now getting along just fine, we had a very interactive lesson today too.
My students love me and I love them, the feeling is mutual. I must commend myself for having being innovative and creative in about 95% of my lessons, the boring lessons are few and far-fetched- so why shouldn't I blow my trumpet, it's mine after all! By the way, I would be uploading a few of my students' works here and I will appreciate supportive comments.
This really doesn't sum up the fulfilling weeks gone by, I have grown in a lot of ways, learnt from colleagues and students and I look forward to a hundred days in school!
Thank you for hanging out, it will only get better I promise but please don't just whistle and pass by, leave a comment also.
CIAO!
