Cracked 2

 2 Mrs Pepper was on a call when Miss Monica knocked and entered her office, "I will call you back" she said and hung up when she saw Miss Monica's furious look, "what's the problem Miss Monica?" she asked, "it's one of my student.....  She is very brilliant but.... " Mrs. Pepper interrupted her, "it's Choo, right?" she asked and Miss Monica became calm, "y-es.... How did you know that?" she asked, Mrs. Pepper sighed deeply, "sit down Miss Monica " Miss Monica looked at the seat and remembered she was standing, she sat down after saying a quiet thanks to Mrs Pepper. Mrs Pepper continued after she sat down, "Choo has been like that since she was admitted into the school " Mrs Pepper said soberly and pitifully, Miss Monica was shocked, "since when?" she asked, "that's like ten years ago" Mrs Pepper said, "what!!" Miss Monica exclaimed, "we used to have a teacher h

1 Choo fidgeted as she walked to the front of the class, she broke into tears when she got to the board. Miss Monica looked at her in surprise, she could not fathom what was happening to the young girl standing in front of her. Choo had gotten the highest mark in the test she had given them in class  the previous day while the others had failed the test. She got a 96 out of 100 whereas the second highest got a 42 out of 100. She had only called Choo to come and explain to the rest of the class the test questions only for Choo to be shaking and crying like something was frightening her. Miss Monica moved closer to Choo, "what is the problem Choo?" she asked with a concerned look but Choo just looked round and ran out of the class. Miss Monica could not have it anymore, she went to the principal's office to tell her what had happened.

The Blank Space Losing someone or something is a very painful feeling especially when the person was someone you loved so dearly. Whenever one loses someone or something, it creates a blank space in the life of the person. Sometimes we try to fill this space by doing things that can hurt us like eating unnecessarily, working tirelessly, drinking excessively or partying too much. We believe that once we occupy ourselves, we would not remember the blank space but not remembering something doesn't mean it is not there. I could try to forget that my father walked out from us by drinking alcohol or even taking hard drugs but it would not remove the fact that he actually walked out of the home. You might have lost someone so dear to you that you feel you can't do without the person and you feel like dying...... You know some people think suicide is the next option when they lose someone or something very dear to them but is that really the answer? That is a coward and ugly way to

The Helping Hand

Image
Helping Hand in life, we need to help each other because we need each other to survive. Some people believe that helping someone else might deter them from moving forward but this is so untrue. One comic actress I admire so much always say: "the sky is big enough for all the birds to fly". This is the truth about life. We need to learn to help ourselves, no man is an island. Many people compete with others and miss their purpose in the process. I read something recently on the net about a man Mr. Lawrence Ughamadu, a pastor who narrated, on his Facebook page, an engaging experience he had with people heading to church and victims of a ghastly car accident on Sunday, January 7. He started his story by stating that many Nigerians are like killer-herdsmen.: According to Mr. Ughamadu, “this morning (January 7), I was rushing to catch up with my Sunday service in Benin (Edo State from Onitsha (Anambra State). Just after Abudu, the Honda Pilot in front of me pulled a back tire

Healthy Weight Loss

                Healthy Weight loss Though Excess weight  may be sometimes cosmetically undesirable, this is not the most serious harmful effect. The serious harmful effect result from the fact that excess fat, particularly around the mid-section, greatly increases risk of developing a number of other health conditions, like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and elevated blood sugar levelsScientific studies show that chronic preventable health conditions, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke are increasingly being associated with excess weight. For example, experts estimate that one-half of all type 2 diabetes cases could be prevented simply by controlling Obesity. The key to losing weight is forgetting about counting calories and focusing instead on eating more of the World's Healthiest Foods. These foods not only help you feel more vibrant and energetic, but they successfully help you to lose weight without feeling d

New Year goals

Image
New Year Goals At the beginning of the year or sometimes before the beginning of the year, we make a list of things we want to do in the year and things we don't want to do in three new year. Sometimes we are able to do half of these things or maybe a quarter of the list or we might just end up doing one of it and leave the rest. Before we continue, I would implore us to make the right goals for this year 2018, goals that will favour us and everyone around us. There are some help lines that would help us to fulfill the goals we set for the year 2018. 1. Sit and ponder on everything on your list. 2. Cross out the unrealistic goals 3. Re-write them starting from the short-term goals to the long-term goals 4. Write all you need to do to achieve these goals; explain the goals. For Example, I want to write ten books; how? When? etc. Maybe I would need to write a book each month or whichever way. 5. Give yourself a punishment; for example, if I don't finish a book in a mont
