Felt Included

I remember when in second form in high school over thirty six years ago, I had a Mathematics teacher who was teaching the topic negatives and positives. Today, this memory still lives in me, I had to teach an entire class who did not understand the concept. The teacher had allowed me to. I was seen as a nobody but I rose to the occasion in helping them understood something which I was capable of managing. In life, we should not write off anyone. Each of us learn in our own way.

That's such a compelling story of experience with Math teacher.

Despite coming from a very financially humble background I did not give in to constant feelings of exclusion inferiority, but worked hard on my English. My teacher Mrs Induli recognized my effort and gave me my first English Dictionary which I read cover to cover. By the time I left elementary  (Primary) school, I had another name: The Class's moving Dictionary'! he inclusive approach gave me my future. Today I am a Teacher of English.
