*COMMENTARY*
Teacher Folashade Adegbeye (aka Teacher Sade) has been teaching primary school pupils for 20 years but it was three years ago that she was confronted with a challenge that woke up a streak of creative diligence nestling dormant within her all these years.
lt happened when Teacher Sade found out that one of her pupils worked in a car-wash to fend for himself. The boy had no place to sleep and no one to take care of him, so he slept at the car wash. He was just about to drop his quest for education when his teacher found out about his problem and started encouraging him not to
quit.
To encourage the boy and other pupils who were passing through diverse challenges of their own, Teacher Sade came up with motivational and inspirational quotes which she used to prepare and brace the minds of pupils before presenting her curricular work. The results proved very effective with the pupils and the results she has been recording are extraordinary. When she uploaded a video of her unique teaching method in May 2022, it immediately went viral and in June 2022, the Lagos State Government gave her a special Merit Award complete with a brand new car gift.
Can you see what diligence can do? Take note that apart from the excellent classroom work she did, she was diligent enough to do an
inspiring video of her work and upload it on the internet. Without that video, she might never have been recognized and rewarded by anybody. Diligence demands going the extra mile.
The wise teacher of the bible tells us that "Lazy people want much but get little, while the diligent are prospering," and Do you know a hard-working (diligent) man? He shall be successful and stand before Kings!" (Prov.13:4; 22:29 TLB). Even if you are working in obscurity, diligence will bring you out to the limelight where your hard work will be recognized and properly rewarded.
