Imagine if I poured out my experience of getting awarded 6+ undergraduate scholarships, handled 10+ leadership positions, got involved in several extracurricular activities, networked with my lecturers, peers, senior and junior colleagues, and still bagged a First Class into a BOOK! Does this interest you or someone around you? Then connect with Abasiofon Ime Moses, tell someone to tell someone about this good news, follow me, and turn on the notification bell to get updates on the pre-order and launch of the book.

First of all I want to give a resounding round of applause to all the amazing students who are being recognized with academic awards this month! High fives all around, seriously! AND let's not forget to also celebrate those students for whom school has never been an easy ride. Let's cheer for those who bravely tackle each and every word of their spelling homework with determination. Let's honor those who put in hours of effort on assignments that others finish in a fraction of the time. Let's uplift those who strategically "forget" their homework at school to avoid lengthy study sessions. To the students who are wondering what it takes to earn one of those coveted certificates, shiny plaques, or first-place medals, let me share this wisdom earned through the years: hard work is a reward in itself. So, whether you're an award recipient or one who narrowly missed the mark, keep persevering. Seek guidance from the Lord when faced with challenges that seem insurmountable, and use His strength to push through tough times without giving up. There might not be a grand ceremony for simply holding your head high when everything feels overwhelmingly difficult, but if there were, you all would be the recipients. A positive attitude is a treasure in itself. Remember, weary one, the ultimate reward we can all strive for is hearing those words, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Our service to God AND others through our obedience and positive outlook is what truly matters. So, my dear children, you are on the right path. (It has taken me years to be brave enough to express this. So, my heart is begging you to be kind or quiet in your reply.)

As we gear up for our 25th reunion, a wave of gratitude washes over me for the incredible teachers who guided us through those formative years. Their impact goes far beyond textbooks and tests.

Hard work pays off

“Touching lives” through gestures of gratitude When I earned my “Dr.” degree, my first thought was to go back to school principals and teachers to honour their support. Usually, acknowledgement would be left on the pages of the PhD. Thesis. ↳ I chose to do it in person. ↳ I visited 7 schools and met teachers. ↳ I handed my thesis to them, to hold, read and feel. In the whole process, I was watching their emotions. ↳ They were happy and excited ↳ smiling and curious ↳ beaming with energy   They confessed: ↳ No one comes to thank them in person. ↳ No one shares what happened to their support ↳ No one shows the product of their support and work.     This moment of my expression of GRATITUDE turned into moments of CELEBRATION.   ↳ We clicked pictures for memories. ↳ We increased the depth of our bond. ↳ We committed to staying relevant to learners in the classroom.   PS: Reading about being kind, thoughtful and grateful is one thing and showing it in practice is another. What are your thoughts on this?

I am always Saving my Ears For Them! Persons 7 - My Mentors/ My Egbons Day 27 of sharing 40 Ps that shape me as I countdown to my 40th Birthday!
