My early adulthood didn’t end there though. Admittedly, I took their Teacher’s Training program for 2 months (unpaid.) It was never easy I promise! Grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation all at once! It seemed like my brain cells were mumbling and crying for help! (Haha) But, being the instant breadwinner of the family there was no room for quitting. My mentors and co-trainees wanted me to succeed from day one (as the youngest in the group) they had given me all the encouragement, constructive feedbacks, manageable targets, coffee and biscuits to do that.

During those times, we would occasionally have English spelling quizzes in the classroom. I like spelling so much! But I hate reading (even up till now). Grammar was not a thing for me and I would usually use my gut feeling for answers ( if it sounds good, it’s correct. lol).

Allow yoursef to be a beginner because no one starts off being excellent. Just pour your heart into it and remember that if you strive for greatness, the results will be majestic.

Being a scholar isn’t enough. I’ve tried applying as a crew in a fast food chain but unfortunately, they didn’t call me back (haha) so I became an assistant of a photocopy machine owner in our school but it’s not enough, obviously.

No teacher ever corrected me with my pronunciation simply because I was the unpopular and shy type. I was not participating much in any class discussion nor recitation! I was the young side chick who disliked any social interaction and preferred the pens and papers to do the talking.
