There have been numerous difficulties for me during the years that I have worked at Sand Creek Secondary School as the interim head teacher. why? When I was appointed acting HM in 2022, the school was in disarray and confusion due to a lack of records, which made it difficult for parents from rural areas to register their children when they arrived, and to locate certain documents when students needed to transfer because of a variety of reasons. Because our school is a central school in area 9, I took it upon myself to obtain these documents. Once they were all in place, I could feel a smooth flow in the right direction.
It is made simpler by realizing, why having the documents on hand is crucial. A teacher approached me in the year 2022 with the idea to put all of these documents on a flash drive so that they could be typed up and handed to whoever needed them when needed. It wasn't an easy task, but the payoff was well worth it. The teacher and four other people typed all 70 documents. With 468 kids, this duty helps instructors, parents, and students. Additionally, without these records, our school would not have existed as a school at all. Schools must maintain records in order to operate.

The simplest way to sum up my experience as a classroom teacher is to say that it has been a voyage of learning, occasionally challenging and occasionally enjoyable. First and foremost, i got the chance to interact with the pupils and get to know them all personally. Through extracurricular activities, i had opportunities to connect with my students, and i also liked motivating my class. But when it comes to academics, my pupils' scores are dropping and their absenteeism is rising; it took a lot of effort and responsibility to get in touch with the kids and learn why, as well as to visit the subject instructors to learn why. Added to that additional duty as a caring class instructor.
Throughout the term, i was also responsible with keeping the inescapable class records. Even though these took a lot of time and were challenging at times, i was able to submit my records by the deadlines.
