 "A candle can never light another candle unless it continues to burn." -Rabindranath Tagore

Likewise, a teacher can never truly teach unless he/she continues to learn.

Word for the Day: Multiplication

• The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who can't read and write but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn -Alvin Toffler
• The quality of a country's education system can't exceed the quality of the teachers.

• Subject teacher
• Class adviser
• Guidance counselor

• Part time librarian
• Sanitary engineer
• Caregiver
• Coach
• Customer service officer

3 types of assessment

Dreams Do Come True ✨

As I sit down to write this blog, I cannot help but get emotional thinking about my journey to where I am today. For years, I struggled with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal disorder that can make it difficult for women to conceive and disrupt their menstrual cycle. The fear of never having children weighed heavy on my heart, but I always clung onto the hope that someday, my dream of becoming a mother would come true. But it did not end there. I had another dream, which was to have a responsible and loving husband who would understand and support me through thick and thin.

I want to encourage anyone reading this, especially those who may be facing similar chall

Striving to be the best mother, wife, and professional can sometimes feel like an impossible task. There have been days when I felt overwhelmed, unsure if I could manage everything life was throwing at me.

Another challenge I encountered was learning to put my daughter’s needs above my own. As a mother, it is important to prioritize the well-being of our child, even when it requires sacrifice. I remember the sleepless nights when I stayed awake, tending to my baby’s needs, and the countless times I chose to pursue my dreams later to ensure that I witness every mil

Today, I want to express my deepest appreciation of the priceless gift we were blessed with this year— celebration of our first Valentine's Day with our daughter, the answer to our heartfelt prayers. The road leading to this moment has been nothing short of extraordinary. Dada, you my rock and partner in all things, thank you for the love and devotion you have poured into our relationship. I am forever grateful for the beautiful family we have created together. Elle, you are the living embodiment of hope, love, and all things miraculous.
