ME-YOURSELF-AND-US

THREE

Friday, I'm so nervous today. It was around 4 and the school was starting to fill up with cars of parents here for the meeting. I was up till 2am coz I was being a freak making sure everything was prepared for the parents. During the day in class the kids we doing a review speech where they show their parents what they learned this past term till now. I thought it will be a great idea to show and acknowledge parents and give them validation that their children are secure and are learning. So what they'll do is make a one minute speech about their learning experience. I love my learners and I want them to excel and feel recognized everyday. And while they have been practicing since Thursday. I ordered some packages for them and their parents from my brother's girl at discounted price that I reasonably priced. I love it and her. I'll tell you more about her. Anyways I asked bhuti Sifso to help put them in storage. I took their pictures and did a hard copy then put it on their allocated desk since the children would be playing out side during the one on one sessions. One thing about me I go all out when I do it for someone I love. I went to bathroom real quick as I in the stall I heard Lihle and Lethabo come in.

LTB: haii no gal did you hear that "miss uptight" brought some things for the parents.(laughing dramatically)
Lihle:what is now. You'd swear that she likes attention.
LTB: she's just looking for clout. Busy blackmailing people to like her with unnecessary stunts. If it's not waiting for those kids at the gate, it's being "miss perfect". She really wants us to lose our jobs.
Lihle: argg. Everything about her it's fake. Her skin is clear and body of hers are all fake. It's not possible for to look like that perfectly structured. I'm sure did a LLB and put botox. The those fake labels. Yho this gal.

They both laughed. I flashed the toilet but it looks there's someone else who was the too. I got out off the stall. The two women looked so shocked to see me and Mandy a grade 6 life science teacher. Mandy and were still looking at the two women. I went to wash my hands and dried them with a paper towel and stood at the door leading out for a while turn around to look at them.

Me: It's okay loves. Ya'll don't have to be this insecure. I recommend therapy to seek self love and respect for yourself. If don't respect others then it means you don't respect yourselves. You two are teacher to wonderful children who look to you as their role models. So act your age, stop bullying others to make yourself feel better about your insecurities. Do self introspection. I forgive you guys and I'm here if you need to speak to someone. And I'll recommend some mental clinical services at a reasonable price. Good luck on the meeting.

I left without waiting for a reply. As I said that I have learnt to not let petty this get to me. If I was still in high school I would commit suicide but now I'm willing to help the person get better. Guys I know who I am. And that's all God's work. So I don't care how I been seen or what. I care about pleasing my creator. I get to class and do some touches here and there.

Ohh my outfit guys. I didn't do makeup today just outline my lips with gloss. I did my fro in a puffy up do slicked up with edges then put a white headband that covered my slicked part of my hair. Small hooped earing. A black maxi dress hugging my body nicely end right below the knee. A see-through black long shirt that is same length as the dress and with socks with black and white quarter legs airforce Jordan sneakers.

The bell rang and the class started to fill up I had 22 learners I'm the class 14 girls and 8 boys. Last one to enter was the man I was dreading to meet Hoping he might not come. He was so sexy. Work with so much dominance you cold feel the change of energy and how he possessed the room by just his presence. He even looked like I God with an all black suit with no jacket, two unbuttoned buttons, sleeves rolled up, carrying Khosi on his left arm holding Fundo with his right hand. Yho what a creation. I cleared my throat and began. When he stood next to Fundo's desk. I went around my desk the stood buy board.

Me: Good evening parents I'm so grateful to see all of you here. I'd my munchies to come up front we have a nice presentation for you you. But I'd like to pray for our session. Heveanly father... amen. Okay. Lungi sweetie?

Lungi: Good evening to all. I'm Lungile Ncobo and this in is my experience in Ms K's class...

All my learners did so well in their speeches parents were laughing and cooing during the speech. After they done they back to their decks and I went to the board

Me: thank you so much munchies. I hope you parents pleased that. As a teacher I want my learners to feel free to express and work as a team and show them how to be there for each other and loving one another. I make sure that they stick together so they build each other up. So of we have one who understands a topic she or he must be willing to help others understand. Not because of the average mark but for teaching of humanity for each other.

After that the children were let got play while I had one on one's with the parents.
