BLOG - A DAY IN MY LIFE! Today, as a future educator, I was expected to undergo school-based experience programme at the school for a week. Thus, today, I will be sharing my experience for the third day at the school. Honestly speaking, my anxiety levels decreased significantly after the first day.

There, on the rough path For them love was a bottomless well And none can't be done To makes the flower bloom And rise above the raging storm The heroes, so to speak A hero in the garb of a teacher Oftentimes; beyond the hours Leaving in the evening twilight Along with a head pat With not a single weary soul in sight
