When I was one year old

Today’s my birthday and it’s time to celebrate. Time to kick back and enjoy myself for at least a day. Time is really passing very fast. That picture above was taken 33 years ago. This year we will be having a much smaller cake and I’ll be baking it myself.

It has been a great year for me last year as there has been lots of improvement and the addition of Tiger girl to our family. Our family dynamics has improved and we are all working together an improving ourselves. The house has been fully renovated and everything that needed to be fixed has been fixed. I’m a happy mummy as I’m now able to spend time home with the kids and pursue my hobbies…now if I can work out how to add on time for studying a new course and increase passive income.

This week I’m highlighting one of my favourite Korean Boy Band- Super Junior.. here is them singing Perfection.

Book Review: Teaching is …by MarJan Glavac Review

Dominique Book Review Marjan Glavac, teaching is

Teaching Is… Moments That Inspire and Motivate Teachers To Make A Difference by Marjan Galvac is a very inspiring book which I recently read.

Written by the creator of the highly regarded online teacher’s resource-The Busy Educator the book gives snippets into the lives of a teacher and the defining moments which gives one the reason to stay and remain as a teacher.

As an educator myself I know that the constant changes in the education system is really draining the life out of even the most passionate educator. Sometimes we really feel like throwing in the towel and just leave the job.

The overwhelming work load and being constantly overworked and undervalued has caused the passion and sparks for teaching to fizzle off at time.

Reading this book really brings back sweet memories and the joys I had teaching my last class before going on no pay leave.

Teaching is … Being told years and years later by
students that you’re still their favorite
teacher

This is my favourite quotation from the book as I can personally relate to it. My ex- students who I still keep in contact with have told me that I’m still their favourite teacher and it really melts my heart hearing it from them.

Do give the book a read if you are needing some inspiration. It really does wonders.
