New year, new life, new book

You might have read this story before, it was recently shared again by a head of school.

Read the story below:
“When I started using pen in my primary school, and I made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it before submitting to my teacher.

Sometimes, I use chalk to clean my mistake but it later re-appeared. So I began to use saliva, it worked, but only to leave holes in my books.

My teachers then used to beat me for being outrageously dirty. But all I tried to do was to cover my mistakes.

One day, a kind hearted teacher who loved me so much called me aside and said, " Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it and move on" .
He further said: " Trying to erase your mistakes would only damage your book to nothing. I told him in protest that I don't want people to see my mistakes.

My loving teacher laughed and said " Trying to erase your error will make more people know about your mess, and the stigma is for life".

Have you made some mistakes in life? It could be a very terrible one at that. Hope you’ve left it in the past year. I mean yesterday.  Cross it, its gone with 2018, move on!

Don't expose yourself as a result of trying to cover your mistakes. You need to open a fresh page of a new book to start up a new year, note down your plans this year to avoid too much error.

Remember, better things are ahead of you.

Welcome to 2019 with a new note. We pray Almighty God directs us all through.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Yay! its 2019.
