IF YOUR TEACHER CALLS YOU “FRIEND”

Danielle walked into my office and met me having a conversation with a dear protégé. She came in excitedly and my protégé gave her the “High Five” hand gesture. Daniele went on her knees and greeted him without giving him a “High Five” in return. She then came to hug me and then I said, “Give a High Five”. She […]

“MUMMY, I CANNOT SEE MYSELF”

We all sat on the bed. The mirror was right opposite us. Irewamiri and I were in the middle of a conversation. The next thing we heard was Danielle saying, “I cannot see myself”.

A lot happened in those seven weeks- we stretched, we had to keep the glow alive, we took ill but got better.

THE SECRET PLACE (Countdown to 34- Lesson 7)
