A
certain boy named Timothy did not like himself. Timothy had no friends. He was
always alone both in school and at home.
He hated school because he was poor at school subjects and everyone
laughed at him. He had another problem. Other children called him funny
nicknames because he had a big nose. In
fact he felt he was ugly. His brother
and sister were very smart and pretty.
They did well in school and their parents were proud of them. Timothy
tried hard in school but his performances were poor. His parents were not
helping matters. They scolded him for
his performances and told him that he would end up like uncle Jeremiah, who is
useless and drinks a lot of beer. Timothy usually took a book and pencil with
him and drew different kinds of things.
He hid these drawings from everybody.
In a new session, Timothy was afraid to start school. But the new teacher, Miss. Musa noticed him
and found out his problem. She promised
to help him to solve Mathematics and spellings.
She encouraged him, commended his drawings and used some to decorate the
classroom. Timothy changed and began to
join others during break periods. He became happy and started improving in his
schoolwork. He began to smile such that nobody noticed his big nose
anymore. Timothy was happy, “I’m glad to
be myself,” he thought.
Hints: Sometimes we don’t feel
good about ourselves. We think that we have no special gifts or talents. The truth is that every one of us has special
things we can do better than others. Discover your own or help another person
discover his. You don’t need to be anyone else. God has made you who you are
because the best you can be is who you are now.
