Growing up in a developing country (Nigeria), a chance at education was one of the greatest privileges one could have. As a child, when my father drove me to school, I would see children hawking on the streets. This hurt me badly and led me to organize mini lessons for my age mates in my neighborhood. I taught with complete enthusiasm and joy seeing my students were happy to learn. At that young age, I was drawn to become a teacher in order to make more impact on a wider population. I found myself greatly fascinated by the vast knowledge in the universe waiting to be acquired. My interest in learning and teaching grew over the years in which I excelled at.

Here, students are encouraged to solve the pertinent problem with what they have learnt instead of mere repetition aimed at passing exams. For instance, I asked my students to help control land and noise pollution in the school environment. This prepared them to be leaders in future.

I will also understand education policies to effectively organize the material and human resources of an educational institution.
