Happy Day 96

Today was the day when I felt completely out of place and I had to keep questioning my position, my place and everything around me. "Not a Good Day" I kept repeating, and it was honestly one very low day.

Today is Tuesday; October 4th

Although I started off very early at school, it was one of these awkward days where you have a weird vibe and everything feels like a massive misfit. I went to school and I tried to keep a happy face which I was incapable of doing and I ended up being the teacher with the sad puppy face throughout the day. I was able to accomplish quite a lot and cover a lot of the stuff which was missed due to our long weekend but something was just not right. I talked to my friend about this day quite a lot and what is great is that she felt exactly the same and we were able to have a moment of sharing our strange vibes. I was also informed this afternoon that one of the most important interviews in my entire career is taking place tomorrow at 4pm (AND I HAVEN'T PREPARED FOR IT..!!).

After school this afternoon I had nothing and I was able to get my lil man from physiotherapy and I was able to get o the radio early enough to set my work and start thinking about the show. This evening's topic was one of my favourite topics as it covers one picture which has been circulating social media for quite a long time. What is really bizarre is that the photo has been shared without the rest of it and hence I decided to put it out there for my listeners.

During my show, I was blessed by a call from my sister who surprised me of being at a burger place and she bought some great burgers which I couldn't finish but I enjoyed every bite of it. A Great Meal marking the end of my STRANGE DAY.

Coming home to no private lessons allowed me to get a bit of rest with no headache, Have a Great Evening Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 95

Starting school on a Monday is so wrong..!!! I am less motivated than usual, less organised than usual.. and I feel like a lost person in the middle of the woods..!!

Today is Monday; October 3rd

It felt great seeing my students after the long weekend we had however I felt extremely lost and disoriented for some reason. I was extremely behind in handing most of my paper work and I had no clue what I am going to do this week. And what is worse is that the week has been shortened and I felt like the work has been piled instead of it being spread over its natural time.

I started my students on The Mind Up Program which is extremely interesting as they were able to grasp the idea a lot quicker than I thought and a lot more easier than I imagined. They were eager to draw the brain and understand their behaviour. The program is great and well researched.

After my crazy day at school, I went to my private lesson then I ended up heading to the radio for an interesting show about Africa.

I know it's quick but I honestly had a quick week with hardly anything exciting, so Have a Great Evening Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 94

I once posted on my Facebook account 3 years today the following
("First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."
The very wise words of my role model #Gandhi #InternationalDayOfNonViolence) 

Today is Sunday; October 2nd

Being greeted this morning by something I posted in 2013 on Facebook was one of the things that really got me reflecting on where I was and where I am and what I have come across to achieve all this. I still remember when I barely had no money and I had to save every penny to make sure that my lil one and I have enough to get to physio and back. I still remember taking the bus in the heat wave with my lil one just to get to places. Life is filled with so much mysteries and all you have to do is keep unfolding the presents that come your way with the biggest smile you are capable of showing.

I keep getting asked at school (What am I on?) just because I walk into school with the biggest smile ever, not knowing the amount of horrid things I have experienced just to get to school in the morning. I smile because I have overcome so much not because I am special just because I remember the bad things, I am grateful for all the good things and I am proud of myself for merely surviving it all. I used to wish I had a better life, a better fortune but not anymore, this is where I am and this is where I am meant to be with my lovely little son who is a cerebral palsy patient. And I wish it no different any more.

Today was yet another difficult day, October is one mean month, with lots of work and running around as usual. I wanted to skip physiotherapy as my lil one was extremely drained and he wanted to play for a bit, however, I pushed through and we got out of the door at 11am. I had to gather all the strength in the world to step foot out of the house to face today as it was HOT HOT HOT and I had no motivation to do anything.

I forced myself to face people and be nice although I had a lot of difficult moments where I could have been a lot worse than how I acted. After my difficult day, I had a good private lesson with a student whose school fails to provide him with the minimum needs which got me even more livid and aggravated at the educational system in the country I live in although there are many great teachers but the bad ones seem to spread faster than super bugs.

At the end of my lesson, I had to take both my student and my lil one with me to the Radio Station as I promised my lil one. They both had fun and they enjoyed their time till my student's father picked him up and my lil one had to stay until I finished my show.

Now my lil man is sleeping happily and I need to prep for school which is tomorrow, so Have a Great Evening Lovelies (^_^)  

Happy Day 93

The day I slept like a pig and woke up like a princess. I had nothing serious going on but I had to teach one of my students how to respect appointments, harsh but a must.

Today is Saturday, October 1st

I woke up after a very satisfactory sleep with great joy. My mum was feeling a bit better and the vibe was great. I had a private lesson in the early noon time however he decided not to show up on time. After about 2 hours and 40 minutes my student arrived extremely late and I had to send him back as he was very late. I was very strict and his mother was upset but it was meant to happen and had to happen. I am a very nice person and normally I let a lot of things slide but this one really was upsetting and I could't just let it go.

After my crazy incident, I had to complete my second private lesson which went very well as usual then I head home for a bit of break. I was up again in the evening for another lesson and I was done for this Saturday.

Today was unusually quite with nothing happening but here you go with an update, Have a Great Evening Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 92

It was meant to be a relaxed Friday however it turned into a busy one. I enjoyed it although I was extremely tense and my mind was busy with lots of work. What is keeping my sanity is that I have a long weekend and food, food, food and more fooooooood

Today is Friday, September 30th

The morning was great, I had an excellent start for my day as I was greeted by a great smile on my lil one's face which was SUPERB. The day continued to unfold some unexpected events; today was the day I had to look after my family. as soon as I left my room I came across my mum who was in a terrible mood and she wanted someone to listen to hear as she shares some stuff making her feel down  the past couple of days. I had to calm her down, knowing that I need someone to calm me down too, and I reassured her that it will all be sorted and I will fix everything.

As usual I had to fix it, being the only person around her at that moment. When that was all done and dusted, I went to my lil one who asked me to get him a toy which I am incapable of doing as I had no money on me. At that moment, I had to explain to my 7 year old son that money and objects are unimportant objects what is more important is family and being there for one another. It took him a while to understand why but I really hope it went through him and he understood it.

Knowing it was not enough, I had to walk out of my room yet again and I find something going wrong yet again (what a coincidence..!!). This time it was to do with my brother in law and our helper at home. She decided to leave work because the heat is unbearable..!! I had to talk to her extremely livid as she had the audacity to leave work without letting us know the day before. Again I had to deal with this issue ALONE, BY MYSELF with NO HELP from anyone around me then I completely crashed and decided to take my lil one on a date.

I guess eating out with my lil man is always a treat. It calmed me down quite a lot and helped gather my thoughts and clear my mind from all the negativity that was happening around me. As a single mother you are responsible for a lot of things and I hardly have time off work to spend with my own child, so I guess it all worked out well as I ended up having a bit of time with my lil one and it was different. Have a Great Evening for now Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 91

Although I started losing my voice again and the problem with my voice isn't completely resolved I had a great day at school where I went swimming where I enjoyed a great swim with my little ones and the teacher.

Today is Thursday; September 29th

I always start my days with energy for some reason, maybe it is because I love my job or maybe it is because I love the rickshaw ride till we get to the school. When I got there I was meant to do a lot of work but I wasn't able to complete any. The day was perfect overall, I loved how fast the day passed. So I was thinking about my students and I did a lot of research on how to teach my student to calm down and understand their actions a lot better. Out of the blue, I started remembering an interview Goldie Hawn did with Oprah about her school or something along those lines and it is to do with children and their attitudes, so I went online and started researching for what is it exactly that she did and I found out that she had an organisation and a program for school children called 'MindUp'. The more I read about it the more I fell in LOVE with it. I instantly downloaded the pdf file relevant for my students' age group and started implementing it today. I only started explaining to my students the main parts of the brain, the importance of those parts and how they work (lesson 1). I honestly didn't think I will grab their attention this quickly but it was magical. Therefore, I decided to start it next week and let's see how it changes my little ones.

After the school, I went to my private lesson then to the Radio where I was waiting for one of the best interviews I have ever conducted on my show. It was quite entertaining and I loved having a chat with 2 talented young men who are balancing between their day jobs and their musical talents.

The interview was honestly the cherry on top for my week and I am grateful that I was there to conduct it. I am crashing with extremely low energy as usual so Have a Great Evening Lovelies (^_^)

Happy Day 90

So as you guessed it.. I was away for about 2 day..YES 2 DAYS..!! I was sick and out of service for both days but today I decided to pick up all the bits and pieces of my energy to go to school and resume my life as normal.

Tuesday's Topic was the first Hijabi on Playboy Magazine

Today is Wednesday; September 28th

I was very hesitant to go back to school today for some odd reason, I always feel useless and out of place once I take a day off or miss a day of work. However, once I stepped foot at school I was greeted by one of my students who ran towards me and gave me a massive hug. I missed my students and I thought they forgot about me but they did not. I missed each and every student, these little ones felt like my children whom I have abandoned for 2 days. We had a great day together and I also received some bad feedback on the behaviour of some of them. I was quickly on top of things. And I was thinking and planning to change their behaviour and attitudes toward each other. I finally felt like I fitted in perfectly and that is the feeling that reassures me that I was born to become a teacher. Teaching is the only job I can imagine myself do until I die, and having days off or being absent just reminds me how much I love my job and I honestly appreciate it.

After school I was able to do a bit of work on my classroom and arranged some stuff then I headed home for a bit of break. Then I quickly went to my second love which was the Radio. Although Tuesday was the day I officially started after a couple of days off, but today felt even better and more powerful. I enjoy my time and I love the space the Radio provides for me. My Tuesday show was great because I just came back and I was able to play some great new songs which my listeners loved as much as I did. I was singing and dancing to the new songs and even some of the listeners commented about how great my list of songs was. Today, the show was also great as my listeners loved the topic and they were able to comment endlessly on what would they do if they were in that position.

Wednesday's Topic 

Getting back to work is like getting back to life, I guess that is the meaning of a workaholic..! Have a Great Evening for now Lovelies (^_^)
