Gratitude

It seems so long ago when i was still the head of department, worrying about the new teachers' performance, worrying about the examination results, worrying about my students' dating problems, worrying about everything. But i have only left my teaching professional 4 months ago. But it really feels like a long long time.

I am grateful to God because He looks after me and my family well. So that i have no worries and can pursue my dreams. I am also thankful to God for Dr. Joseph K Charles, the best mentor a person can ask for. I remembered when i was in my final undergraduate year, he once asked me if i would be satisfied with just getting a passing grade when he knew i could do better? That question kept me thinking, and now here I am doing my PhD, and fulfilling one of my dreams because of him.

God has a funny way of helping people when we least expected. The issues that happened in Feb/March happened and ended just before my internship here in oxford so that i could now fully focused on my work. The same thing happened with me getting a grant from Lady McNiece foundation. It didn't happen earlier, but it happened when i was thoroughly fed up with school, and felt so disappointed with certain people in my school. Then miracles came in the form of Dr Charles (again, he must be my lucky star. reminder to self: be nice to him..he he) who introduced me to Dr Mike Kavanagh, who then opened the road for me.

I am grateful to God for all that I have now.
