5. Sithukuthezi S. S. 82%
True leaders do not just go to where they are guaranteed success or to where the environment is favorable! They bring leadership or transformative power in themselves to an unfavorable environment to transform it to be that of growth and development!
Principals, teachers and officials have to deal with varying environmental factors to deliver results. We salute them!
“There always have been, ever will be, inspiring men and women who are teachers in the highest and most noble sense of the word-believing in and committed to unlocking the potential of those they guide. To them we owe our deepest gratitude.” S. Covey
In support of their great effort, we do our bit, by focusing on strengthening the internal environment of the learners. For it is the environment that must be developed(self worth, self esteem, self confidence, self discipline, mental wellness, resilience, understanding, critical thinking,etc) to unlock growth and development.
“Sorry Sir, I came to say thank you for the message…,”trembling said a young learner who had been waiting for 20min by the car. This same learner was in the top5 that was honored by the school. Another learner from this same school achieved a provincial award as one of the top learners in the province.
A learner from Ncura S.S, one of the schools achieved an award at national level as one of the top learners in the country.
“Mr Bekiswa, I did not know that you were talking about this, this is powerful,” remarked the Princial after the session at one these schools.
No, we do NOT claim a link between the performance of the schools and our visits, we are simple joyful of participating in efforts to help them live meaningfully.
We rise by lifting each other. Put differently, we derive fulfillment and satisfaction from lifting others, from doing good.
“Every act or decision you make that supports life supports all of life, including your own,”Dr Hawkins.” The oppose is also true, destruction of others(life) is self destruction, self-mutilation!
