Dear God… Let This Exam Be As Kind As I’ve Been To My Students

After more than a decade in the academia, I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed almost every part of the profession be it teaching, mentoring students, interactive classroom discussions, projects supervision, and those beautiful moments when a student finally understands a difficult concept. Well almost every part… except one. Marking examination scripts...   Many lecturers already knows this struggle. Those tall piles of answer sheets staring back at you like they have a personal grudge... Often containing handwritings that look like footballers autographs, so difficult to read.  At some point you begin to wonder whether you are marking an exam script or trying to decode ancient manuscripts newly discovered by archaeologists from the times of Tsumburbura and Barbushe.  Then comes the internal debate between “Did the student really understand this?” and “Maybe I should give some marks for effort, for grammar, for neatness, etc” aka "let my people go."  Wel...

Her Sacrifice and My Appreciation


I often sit down and reflect on my very own life. Every now and then i remember the times my Mom used to sit me down and talk sense into my little tender brain. As a child, i was so foolish to ask God "Why he chose her for me????"....."Why didn't he give me a mom who would never scold me?. The one who could pamper me..." MOMS like ma friends... But as i have seen these 20+ years of life, i thank God for her as she is the best and most precious Gift of my life. All i am is a reflection of her, she has taught me to be rock-strong, to judge situations and react accordingly, always emphasizing on the importance of living a simple life. She is an epitome of love, care and kindness. Whenever i fear something and my heart shivers with pain, only the touch of her hand relieves me of all these burdens of life, rejuvinate me and give ME back to me. Days when i live away from her, just talkin to her on phone makes me ecstatic. Even when she scolds me, i understand it now that she was doing so just to improve me. There's no one who believes me more than her. She has faith and believes in my abilities more than i myself and she knows there's nothing i can't do. For her I am the best, and this days she prays for my success until i feel like bursting into tears because of the love, joy and happiness that fills the emotional space in my heart. This is why i never give up no matter the situation and as time passes by God is giving me more reasons to justify-"Why he chose her to be my Mom". Verily HE is the best of choosers, and has chosen the Best for me..... My mother is a wonderful influence, and I can truly think of only one fault that she, and every other mother out there has: She loves me too much. My Mum is the true definition of all that a child needs to differentiate between what is wrong and what is right.


I love her and she's all i need ♥ ♥ ♥ Skih
