Mistakes



When I Started Using Pen In Primary School & I Made a Mistake, I Would Try Hard 2Erase It B4 Submitting It To My Teacher, Sometimes I Use Chalk 2Clean My Mistakes But It later Reappeared, So I Began To Use Saliva, At First It Worked But I Later Discovered It Leave Holes In My Books, My Teacher Then Use To Flog Me For Being Outrageously Dirty But All I Tried 2Do Was Cover My Errors.



 



One Day A Ghanian Teacher Mrs Daniels Who Was Our French Teacher Then At Jenny School Who Loved Me So Much Called Me Aside One Day After School Hours & She Said " Atumu Anytime You Make A Mistake, Just Cross It & Move On"



 



She Said Further "Trying To Erase Your Mistakes Would Only Damage Your Book To Nothing" I Told Her In Protest That I Don't Want People 2See My Mistakes, My Loving Teacher Smiled & Said "Trying 2Erase Your Mistakes Will Only Make More People Know About Your Mess & The Stigma Is For Life!!!



 



As For Mrs Daniels My French Teacher In Jenny Schools, I Never Heard Or Her Or Saw Her Again, Till Date I Still Think Of Her, She Thought Me Some French Songs I Still Remembered Vividly, May God Bless Her Anywhere She Is!!!!



 



Have You Made Mistakes In Life? Cross It Over & Move On, Don't Expose Yourself As a Result Of Trying 2Cover Your Mistakes, Better Things Are Ahead Of You!!!!
