A Letter to My Future Self

Dear Teacher Zawedde,

How are your pupils today? Did anyone make you laugh? I am still learning, but I want to be a teacher when I grow up, a kind one who makes every child feel special.

Do you sing songs in class like we do now? Do your pupils raise their hands excitedly? I hope so.

Please be patient even when they forget answers. Help the shy ones speak and the noisy ones listen. Don’t shout. Smile more.

You’re not just teaching subjects, you’re building hearts and minds. That’s the biggest job ever!

With a chalky hug,
Little Zawedde.
