Happy Second Anniversary, Hive-Naija, as we celebrate this attained feat, I reflect on how our individual environment can blossom in our little way. Ruminating over this task, am inspired to take my place of work immediate need as a particular environment. As I resumed to my place of work every day,I sensed that it needs some transformation, students that can perform better when nurture, Gifts and talent that will thrive with proper monitoring and drilling, all can come from me, all that, I can do.
I am a teacher, and there a lot of potentials among my students. For instance, organising a press club in my school will give my students opportunity to express themselves,their opinions, thoughts with their peers and the society at all. Some of them might eventually pick their career in this beautiful platform. Also, it will enhance creativity like writing of essay,poems, stories etc, Photography, etc.among the group members, This can eventually leads to birthing of school magazine.
Also, I inspired to take action in keeping the school environment clean, all by making sure the students pick litters in the school compound, instead of dropping their snacks remains or nylon on the floor, I can encourage them to put in the refuse, remains and dirt inside the waste bin in their various classrooms.Cutting of grass around the school compound can be done by the students with proper monitoring from me, this will enhance the beauty of the school and will be devoid of bush.
Inculcating and teaching of cultural values and norms to the younger generation is another very important heritage that I can use for Betterment of my community/environment. As Nigeria is rich in cultural values and ethics principles. Some students came from home where cultural values, principles and ethics are taken with levity hand, it is therefore my responsibility to teach, inculcate moral principles and values.
Helping with funds, resources and donating educating and writing materials to my students will go a long way in supporting them. For instance help out in paying tuition fee for the indigent students among them, giving out notebooks, biros, pencils etc. It is not all about mentoring without giving relief materials or fund to ease my students or that of their parents burdens.
I should always Patronise Food Vendors in my school instead of going out, although I rarely buy cooked food, I usually Cook myself, but anytime I want to buy, I should buy from the school food vendors. This will encourage students to do the same. Some of these food vendors have their children studying under me, buying food from them will not only boost their sales and profits, but will also boost their self-esteem and encourage productivity in my immediate environment.
Nutrition Counseling will make my community members to make nutritional choice and this will enable them to achieve nutritional optimal health and wellbeing. For instance, a student taking iced juice or water can be corrected by me. And they can be help to make nutritional choice, all through my guides.
As an Hive_Naija community members,the community should be impacted positively through our collective effort, which can start from You and I.
