Hi , My name is Michael
In one of the schools I taught; the students never liked me.

The first time I entered the class, they said and I heard it clearly "how can this guy with crutches be our Mathematics Teacher " . It hurt me tho
1/4

They made fun of me each time I wanted to write "today's date" on the board because my hands couldn't reach the top of the board.
They nicknamed me "CRUTCHES", Crutches not even "Mr. Crutches"

See, I can't control the way they feel about me, I can't change them.
2/4

but you know what I did? I changed my #perspective, I played along with the mockings. I told them each time "see my hand cannot reach the top of the board, I will start from where my hand can reach" and I respond with a blooming smile each time they call me "CRUTCHES" .
3/4

With time...they not only love me, they fell deeply inlove with Mathematics .

Focus on things you can control and not on things you cannot control or change. Channel your energy wisely. #BeInspired

4/4.
