One should make small goals in life and keep repeating it. Setting achievable goals helps you to keep moving ahead with a purpose. We all have plans, all of them are not successful. How to manage those emotions is tricky and challenging. So leave what is not in your control and focus on what is inside you which can be controlled. Her quest to resolve issues of students, teachers, parents and management give her the satisfaction of learning through each solution and in a micro level contribute to the system. She says that being a teacher she had to balance family and school. This took a lot of her time as they have to prepare what to teach the next day. This work needs a lot of mind and dwelling. People out there should understand the hard work done by the teachers. Parenting is an equally important aspect for the development of a child. If there is no pattern in the house than it wouldn’t be reflective in the school as well no matter how hard the teachers try.
