Take a closer look....they are human before they are children

Afternoon. I am abit emotional as i am writing this because..well i have been thinking alot i guess. I dont have alot of references on my c.v because i dont have a list of fancy companies that iv worked for. My experience refernce however tells a diferent story. Pity i cannot attach that  to my c.v though hahahaha. I stumbled into teaching,yep!it is something that was the furthest thing from my mind because we all know the drill....teachers dont make money....the whole over worked and under paid story (im not saying it is not true:)). I am very enthusiastic about my life and have a strong vision of were i want to be,but this teaching business fell on my lap. I teac

I teach children from the ages 7 to 14. I thought it was going to be challenging but boy was i in for a surprise. Its been VERY challenging. I expected a few naughty kids,one loud one confident one shy one bully and so on,but never in my wildest dreams did i expect to see such pain. I have had a kid come cry in my class because their parents starve them as punishment,she couldnt do her homework because her dad was beating up her mom,because her family wants her to become a sangoma,because her father died,beacuse her sister is in hospital,because they all call her ugly,because she has a disability that makes her the class clown...........

 

If you work with children,have children,have a friend,sister cousin who has children,pray for them,love them because some of these children go through alot at very tender ages.  Stay blessed

You show you take good care of these children as they trust you with their problems. Hold on to the thought that one of these kids might be a future doctor or nurse or whatever else that gets them out of their sorrows.

Goitseona, you are doing great work and caring about these innocent kids/children in Mogwase. Children are angels and harmless. They are born into challenging environment. I know how it feels in an environment like that because I am from there. But through meeting people (like you) who showed caring, good, positive influence and teaching me a lot when I was young it inspired me to be where I am today.  So you are playing a big role in this kids' life and they need love and support to feel worthy and recognized and you are doing it. You are doing great work. You might not see it now but you will see it in the later stages. What is amazing about Mogwase girls like you and Kagiso, you are incredible, loving and caring girls about others. may be I should come to Mogwase and look for potential wife, lol! Just kidding! You never know.
