I was never taught this skill. It's natural.

_{It's another beautiful week with the Hive Learners community and we are in the 27th week already. I am grateful that I got to know about this community when I joined, and I never regretted it. Thanks for the support always.}

_{I was never wrong when I chose two skills I will never regret which are my passions; teaching and writing. Yes, I found them so natural in me and I feel it was the gift God gave to me while coming from heaven 😊}

Many of us, have this inbuilt knowledge about something and it will and can never be difficult to understand, whereas some find it hard even if they learn about it. There is a difference between knowing something already and getting to learn and study before you understand it. Though the former, when it is being studied more, will understand more quickly than the latter.

I have had a natural thing with teaching since I was a child. I can remember when I was in Junior Secondary School and my two siblings were in a lower class, I asked my Dad if I could be taking them lessons because I just love to hold a cane and teach. Though I don't beat, just to scare 😎. He gladly accepted and was even giving me little money as compensation.

That made an Aunt in our compound got interested in me and used me as her assistant when she started taking home lessons.

_{How has teaching helped me so far?}

Sincerely, having a natural thing for teaching while I was young made it so easy and simple to teach children. I know how to break down words into a simpler form and you will understand clearly. Apart from teaching, when I am explaining things to someone, I don't need to stress myself.

Scenarios where it has helped me.

Writing this, made me remember when I joined a private school after my mom's death, I took the kindergarten class and it was as easier for me. A colleague who took primary classes would always come to my class and asked how I found teaching so easy like this. I would smile and tell her, teaching is part of me. She finds it so difficult to explain things to her pupils and she only writes the note on the chalkboard and would send for me to come and explain to them.

She will watch me doing that with joy in me and before you know it, the pupils had understood me without raising my voice to make them understand.

Another one is that, many times I would be in my class, while her pupils will bring their notes for me to explain and will say they do not understand what Miss Peace (my colleague) explained to them. That made the children enjoy my moment in school.

There was a boy in my class (KG 2) that was supposed to be in Primary 2 because of his age. His parents transferred him to where I teach and I focused on him. The boy was promoted to primary 2 while I was still there when I taught him. Whenever his mom sees me, she will smile and appreciate my effort on her son because to her, she wasn't happy seeing her child in that class when he was supposed to be in a higher class.

Many scenarios that I can't keep talking about through which the talent of teaching has helped me teach kids to better understand in the best simplest form which made some people surprise seeing how I could teach so easily without an aisle.

Lastly, I can say through teaching, I developed an interest in writing and I never found it difficult with both. No one taught me how to teach or write, it was in me and it has helped me so far anywhere.

When people marvel at the way I teach and write, especially by making a note mere observing surroundings or people around me, they see it as magic because to them, they can never enjoy it because they do not know how to go about it.

A lady told me one day that I am trying with teaching that if she tries it, she will beat the hell out of the children because she doesn't know how to explain things in the best way to them. 😂😂

I don't beat children before they can understand me. I can only hold a cane as a way to scare them, but I can explain and break down words into smaller pieces for them to understand. This made the parents enjoy and appreciated me.

Thanks for your time.

A lot of teachers have failed because they believe cane is the only way to instill fear in the heart of their students.

I rarely beat but whenever I say it is okay, my students won't smile after. I tried to inculcate fun into teaching and it worked a lot. They are naturally born teachers and I would have pursued the dream if teaching is lucrative in the country.

The love of the job is not enough these days, how much the job has to offer me is important as well
