Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 109: Letting Go

I don't always feel comfortable with the word "letting go," but at times there is nothing I can do. I have to let go. I know it is not always easy to let go, but for peace to reign, I have to let go of some things.

Letting go simply means allowing a certain matter to die for your own interest or for the interest of another person.

So there was a day I was asked by my Principal when I was teaching to have some funds for myself to supervise the SSS 1 class throughout the test.

Before the test, they all saw my name on the notice board as their test supervisor and they were all scared to their bones.

They go ahead pleading with the principal to change their supervisor. Like, they wanted another teacher to supervise them and not me, I was laughing when I heard that because the entire school they know that I have zero tolerance to malpractice.

Because they knew that if I supervise them, no turning, no shaking of head to either side, no asking of questions from your neighbor, even "a cough" attracts a punishment (Red pen on their answer sheet).

Fast forward to the test.

During the test, they all behaved well. They all told themselves that, today won't be as before because they another strategy as a student to carry out their plans, because student always knows how to manipulate their ways in other to pass especially when test and exams are involved.

This type of expo is called "Invisible pen expo". To God who made me this was my first time of seeing this type of Expo in my life even as a student teacher I didn't know about such, but as a teacher I must always know when you are cheating.

Like, using a sharp object or a pen that doesn't have ink inside to write the expo on a plain foolscap so that nobody will see it except themselves.
They were all shocked when I caught one of them. And they were "Like, how did he know"

They murmured but all have forgetten that I was once a student like them". There is no sense in this life that is a new one.

We once did all these things.

After that one person they all behaved well throughout the remaining subjects.

Though I would have reported her to the school management, and that would have attracted a lot of punishment for her, but I decided to let go.

In life let things go.
