A great bird once sang — Sting like a bee dance like a butterfly.
We say — Sing like a bee dance like a butterfly.
Indeed. It takes a bravery to sing and a courage to dance; a reminder that a stomach full of butterflies makes the bee to forget.
For a butterfly was once a caterpillar.

An old dog adage barked up at the wrong tree; where 𝑵𝙚𝒘𝙩𝒐𝙣—𝙩𝒉𝙚 𝙘𝒂𝙩—𝙨𝒂𝙩. Under its ancient shade perhaps pondering about the law of gravity or contemplating the very essence of existence. 'Curiosity killed the cat,' it dogged, as it wagged its tail.
In an unprecedented twist; the elusive wind appeared; sweeping through the branches, carrying echoes from epochs past. Perhaps a witness to a cat-dog dogma that dates from antiquity; it whispered. "Stay safe, trust certainty, not curiosity.”
A healthy fruit, as if listening; tumbled, obeying gravity — the cat’s distant cousin, just as the cat licked its paws; missing its temple by a whisker.
The cat perhaps in defiance purred, ' A cat has nine lives.' A cat—alyst testament that has withstood the winds of popular opinion.
Indeed. A Random Assessment Test (RAT) in the life of a cat.

S𝐭a𝐧d𝐢n𝐠 𝐨n T𝐡r𝐞e L𝐞g𝐬: P𝐞a𝐜e, 𝐋o𝐯e, 𝐚n𝐝 𝐔n𝐢t𝐲
A theater of existence, where thoughts are the actors and actions the scenes, there emerges a concept so enduring, it has become the stage itself— P𝐞a𝐜e, 𝐋o𝐯e, 𝐚n𝐝 𝐔n𝐢t𝐲. This triad stands on three legs of a stool, to stand they must.
Sometimes they stand while standing, other times they stand while seated, sometimes they sit while standing, and occasionally they stand stranded. Yet together, they've stood upon the foundation upon which civilizations are built and aspirations are realized.
P𝐞a𝐜e, the first leg, is not merely the absence of conflict but the presence of a deeper harmony. It is the canvas of existence, silent and vast, upon which the human experience is painted. As the Talmud wisely counsels, the best revenge is not retaliation but leading a good life—a life where peace is the underlying melody to which our actions dance.
𝐋o𝐯e, the second leg, is the brushstroke that colours our days with meaning. It is not quantifiable, nor confined to the pages of a dictionary, but rather a journey—a voyage that begins in the heart and ends only when the stars themselves fade from the sky. It is the force that binds atom to atom, soul to soul, and nation to nation.
𝐔n𝐢t𝐲, the third leg, is the strength of the collective, the chorus of individual voices harmonizing into a symphony of purpose. It is the electric charge that powers the engine of progress, the unit of measure for the ‘y’—the yearning for a better tomorrow.
As we stand upon these three legs, we find ourselves at the nexus of a journey both personal and communal. We stand not just in body but in spirit, not just in thought but in action. We stand as a testament to the idea that while one may walk a mile alone, a thousand miles are traversed together.
Let this article be a clarion call to all who seek a world transcending the ordinary—a world where the aspirations of the people are the very fabric of society. Let it resonate with the wisdom of Machiavelli, the inquiry of Socrates, the dialectics of Plato, and the empiricism of Aristotle. Let it speak to every soul that has ever yearned for more.
In this global village, our school stands as a microcosm of this ideal. Here, we impart not just knowledge but wisdom, not just skills but virtues. We teach that peace is the fertile soil from which prosperity blooms, love is the seed that sprouts into understanding, and unity is the sunlight that ensures the growth of all.
So let us stand, on three legs, in the land of thought, and proclaim our arrival not with fanfare but with a promise—a promise to uphold the values of peace, love, and unity. For in these, we find the true measure of civilization and the best hope for our collective future

𝐃e𝐚r P𝐚r𝐞n𝐭s,
As we celebrated Mother's Day, We're reminded of the profound impact mothers have on the lives of their children. Like Mother Teresa, whose love and dedication knew no bounds, mothers around the world selflessly give of themselves to nurture, educate, and uplift the next generation.
Just as Mother Teresa believed in the transformative power of education, so too do mothers everywhere play a crucial role in shaping the future through the education they provide to their children. From teaching ABCs to instilling values of kindness and empathy, mothers are the first and most influential teachers in their children's lives.
As we step into a new school term, it’s indeed a fitting time to reflect on the contributions of mothers and all parents. They are the architects of the future, building it one child at a time with patience, wisdom, and boundless love. Their efforts often go unsung, but they are the cornerstones of our communities, the guiding lights for our children, and the unsung heroes who deserve our deepest appreciation.
To all the mothers out there, thank you for your love, sacrifice, and tireless dedication. Your role in shaping young minds and hearts does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Happy Mother's Day! Happy New Term!
With love and gratitude,
N𝐚r𝐨 𝐌o𝐫u T𝐫a𝐢n𝐬 𝐕i𝐞w A𝐜a𝐝e𝐦y.

𝐀 𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐧. A normal day in the walk of life. People from all walks of society walk.
Families, young and old, stride through their day. Some head to the market, others to the park, while a few simply walk to talk.
Amidst this, a young couple at home decides to step out, turning their indoor talk into an outdoor walk. They walk the talk or rather walk the walk.
Above, the clouds converse too, sending a notification of thunder. Perhaps a talk of rain with a gusty prelude.
As if on cue; the crowd’s pace quickens. Steps dance—a single step, a double, then a sprint. The sky’s dialogue turns urgent, and a spirited pace takes place. Eyes, wide with anticipation, reflect a shared resolve: no one should face the rain’s onset alone.
In this moment, the earth’s citizens act with silent accord. Money changes hands swiftly, a currency of trust. A climate of collaboration with a singular mission: shield every soul from the impending downpour. And so man and animal collaborate.
The dog unties the tethered goat in the home compound. The Farmer dashes back to the house with a jerry can of milk; dashes out to an unknown location. Njeri, the cat, takes a sip of the milk in the uncovered jerry can. A cat walk; amidst the chaos.
This, perhaps, is the climate we need in education—an 𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. Just as we unite against the rain, sharing umbrellas and racing together, so should we approach learning. Parents, teachers, society, and Government must embody efficiency, cooperation, and care.
No child should be left to ‘endure the rain’ of ignorance. Every child deserves to read, to write, to speak, and to ‘walk the talk’—each a beacon of potential, an 𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲.
And if it ‘rains cats and dogs’ and a child lacks an umbrella, let them use a book to shield themselves. For in the weather of education, every book, every lesson, every moment of learning is an 𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.

The chicken, scientifically known as 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬 𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐬, is one of humanity’s oldest companions. It has walked alongside us through history, scratching the earth for worms, insects and seeds of ideas.
Domesticated from wild jungle fowl in Southeast Asia, chickens have become men. There are currently more than 20 billion chickens in the world. For reference, in 2023 there were over eight billion humans in the world. Perhaps, a call for a chicken council.
From village backyards to industrial farms, they cluck and peck, providing meat and laying eggs.
Eggs. A yes to the Egg.
And yet, before the chicken, there was the egg—an oval riddle wrapped in a fragile shell. The chicken’s origin lies nestled within this enigma. Was it the primordial chicken or an ancestral bird that laid the first egg? Philosophers ponder, while the chicken clucks, unfazed by existential musings.
T𝐚b𝐮l𝐚 𝐫a𝐬a: 𝐀 𝐩h𝐢l𝐨s𝐨p𝐡y
The concept of “𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐚,” or 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞,” has intrigued philosophers and thinkers for centuries. It posits that humans are born without innate knowledge or preconceived ideas, and their experiences and environment shape their development.
Now, let us extend this philosophical canvas to the humble egg—the cosmic vessel of potential.
Imagine the egg as a pristine slate, devoid of markings or expectations. It rests in the straw nest, awaiting its destiny. Its shell, a protective membrane, harbors the mystery of life. Within, the yolk and albumen hold secrets—encoded instructions for growth and transformation.
Like a newborn mind, the egg knows nothing of the world beyond its confines. It is neither chicken nor omelette; it simply exists—a blank canvas of possibilities.
E𝐠g f𝐨r T𝐡o𝐮g𝐡t
The egg’s fate hangs in delicate balance. Will it crack against the edge of a frying pan, yielding its golden yolk to sizzle in butter? Or will it incubate, warmed by a broody hen’s feathers, until cracks appear, revealing a clucky chick?
The kitchen beckons with culinary promise—the sizzle, the aroma, the nourishment. But the chicken coop whispers of feathers, clucks, and the sun’s warmth. Both paths await—the culinary and the cosmic.
𝐓h𝐞 𝐄g𝐠’𝐬 𝐆r𝐚c𝐞f𝐮l P𝐮r𝐩o𝐬e:
Whether scrambled or hatched, the egg serves its purpose. In the kitchen, it nourishes bodies—fuel for the hungry. In the coop, it becomes life—a beak, feathers, and the promise of dawn.
The egg does not resist its fate. It does not lament or pine. It surrenders gracefully, fulfilling its role in the grand symphony of existence.
T𝐡e O𝐦e𝐥e𝐭t𝐞’𝐬 𝐖i𝐬d𝐨m:
Perhaps the omelette, too, whispers wisdom. It tells us that transformation is inevitable. The egg, once whole, becomes fragments—the yolk, the white. Heat dances upon it, altering its essence. And we, too, evolve—our beliefs, our selves.
The omelette teaches acceptance. It says, “Embrace the skillet, the sizzle, the seasoning. You are both egg and omelette. Serve your purpose with grace.”

As we marvel at the timeless presence of chickens in human history and ponder the enigma of the egg, let us not forget the ever-evolving landscape of education unfolding before us in the year 2024. Just as the egg awaits its destiny, so too do prospective pupils await their own paths to unfold through ongoing admissions processes.

In the kitchen of life, the egg stands as a symbol of potential, nestled within its shell, eager to absorb the warmth of knowledge. The recipe for a well-cooked 'egg'ucation begins with a choice: to be fried or boiled, each method a path of learning.
𝐅r𝐢e𝐝 𝐰i𝐭h E𝐱p𝐞r𝐢e𝐧c𝐞:
A sizzle of experiences, tossed with onions of challenges and tomatoes of opportunities, seasoned with a pinch of wisdom. The egg learns in the pan of reality, sometimes flipped, sometimes stirred, but always cooking to perfection. Served on the plate of ambition, it's devoured with the sophistication of skills honed over time, a testament to the hands-on approach of practical learning.
B𝐨i𝐥e𝐝 𝐢n T𝐡e𝐨r𝐲:
Submerged in the pot of theory, the egg is cradled in the bubbling waters of knowledge. It sits in contemplation, absorbing the heat of structured learning, until it's ready to emerge, firm and nourished by the depths of understanding.
And when does the egg leap from the frying pan into the fire? It's when challenges turn into crises, when the heat of the moment tests the resilience of its learning. But fear not, for it's through the fire that the egg's education becomes truly refined, emerging not scorched, but stronger and well-prepared for the feast of life.

As the World welcomes the season of renewal, we join in the spirit of Easter's celebration—a time that symbolizes renewal and growth. It is during this season that a simple yet profound phrase captures our collective imagination: “A chicken is just an egg’s way of making another egg.”
This notion is not merely about the biological cycle of a bird but rather a metaphor for the enduring rhythm of life itself. It speaks to the essence of existence, where each being is both the result and the beginning of a timeless process. As we ponder this, we realize that we, too, are part of this magnificent cycle.
𝐓h𝐞 𝐂i𝐫c𝐥e o𝐟 𝐂o𝐧t𝐢n𝐮i𝐭y
The cyclical nature of life is a dance of elements, a sequence of giving and receiving that sustains all forms of existence. From the decay of fallen leaves that enrich the soil to the birth of new seedlings that reach for the sun, each cycle is a testament to life’s resilience and its capacity for regeneration.
T𝐡e R𝐨l𝐞 𝐨f E𝐚c𝐡 𝐎r𝐠a𝐧i𝐬m
Every creature, no matter how great or small, plays a pivotal role in the perpetuation of its species. The humble chicken, with its daily offering of an egg, is a custodian of the future, ensuring that the melody of life continues to play for generations to come.

This Easter, let us embrace the ‘Easter Egg of Wisdom’ as a symbol of our shared journey. It is a moment for us to reflect on our role in the grand cycle, to acknowledge our responsibility to nurture and guide the next generation, just as the chicken nurtures its egg.
A𝐧 𝐄g𝐠 𝐟o𝐫 𝐓h𝐨u𝐠h𝐭
In the quiet wisdom of a farm’s embrace, a young chick sought the truth of beginnings from an elder. “Which came first—the chicken or the egg?” it asked. With a knowing smile, the elder replied, “The mystery is not in the start but in our presence and the legacy we craft with our lives.”
As we nurture the young minds in our care, let us impart the wisdom of this cycle. We are each a note in life’s grand symphony, playing our part to ensure the melody of kindness, wisdom, and love endures through the ages.
To all the Parents and Educators of the World, may this Easter be a time of reflection on the roles we play in the grand cycle of life. Let us guide the next generation with love, as 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒃𝒔 22:6 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒖𝒔: “𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒖𝒑 𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒈𝒐; 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒅𝒆𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒊𝒕.”

In the quest for happiness, the performing arts emerge as a profound vessel for expression, a mirror reflecting the innermost whispers of our souls. On this World Happiness Day, let us explore the tapestry of joy woven by the arts and its pivotal role in nurturing the well-being of our children and the harmony of our world.
T𝐡e E𝐬s𝐞n𝐜e o𝐟 𝐉o𝐲: D𝐞f𝐢n𝐢n𝐠 𝐇a𝐩p𝐢n𝐞s𝐬
Happiness, an elusive mosaic of emotions, is often painted with the broad strokes of joy, satisfaction, contentment, and fulfillment. It is the laughter of a child, the serenity in a loved one’s embrace, the quietude of a reflective moment. Yet, it is also the roar of applause in a theater, the shared silence of awe in an art gallery, the collective gasp at a dance’s crescendo. Happiness is both the intimate and the communal; it is the personal and the universal.
𝐓h𝐞 𝐈n𝐧e𝐫 𝐂h𝐢l𝐝: T𝐡e H𝐞a𝐫t o𝐟 𝐇a𝐩p𝐢n𝐞s𝐬
Within each of us resides an inner child, a wellspring of pure joy and unfiltered perception. It is this inner child that the performing arts beckon to play, to express, and to be seen. Through the arts, children find a language for their emotions, a stage for their narratives, and a canvas for their dreams. The performing arts do not just entertain; they liberate the voice within, allowing children—and indeed all of us—to articulate our innermost joys and sorrows.
𝐓h𝐞 𝐇a𝐩p𝐢n𝐞s𝐬 𝐈n𝐝e𝐱: A S𝐲m𝐩h𝐨n𝐲 𝐰i𝐭h t𝐡e A𝐫t𝐬
Nations that embrace the arts often find themselves at a higher octave on the happiness index. There is a symphony between the arts and happiness, a melody that plays out in the increased well-being of those who regularly engage with cultural events. These nations understand that the arts are not mere pastimes but are essential threads in the fabric of a contented society.
T𝐡e A𝐫t o𝐟 𝐏e𝐚c𝐞: B𝐫u𝐬h𝐬t𝐫o𝐤e𝐬 𝐨n t𝐡e C𝐚n𝐯a𝐬 𝐨f D𝐞v𝐞l𝐨p𝐦e𝐧t
Art is a powerful advocate for peace, a silent yet poignant negotiator in the dialogue for sustainable development. It transcends barriers, speaks the unspeakable, and teaches empathy. By integrating the performing arts into our educational systems, we do more than entertain; we instill values, foster creativity, and cultivate the seeds of peace. We teach our children that to create is to connect, to perform is to empathize, and to appreciate art is to understand the essence of humanity.
T𝐡e M𝐚s𝐭e𝐫p𝐢e𝐜e o𝐟 𝐓o𝐦o𝐫r𝐨w: 𝐂u𝐥t𝐢v𝐚t𝐢n𝐠 𝐚 𝐇a𝐩p𝐲 𝐆e𝐧e𝐫a𝐭i𝐨n
As we ponder the role of happiness in sustainable development, we must ask ourselves: Are we nurturing a generation that knows the richness of joy beyond material wealth? Are we raising children who can find happiness in the simple act of creation, in the shared experience of performance, in the communal celebration of art? The answer lies in our commitment to making the performing arts an integral part of our children’s lives, ensuring that the pursuit of happiness is not just an individual quest but a collective journey.
On this World Happiness Day, let us pledge to embrace the performing arts as a pathway to joy, a conduit for peace, and a cornerstone for a sustainable future. Let the stages of the world ring with the laughter of children, the whispers of painters, and the steps of dancers, for in their art, we find the blueprint for a happier world.
Spread the Joy! If this article sparked a smile, pass it on and let’s create ripples of happiness together. 🌟😊

In the grand narrative of our world, where every moment is a story and every voice a character, women writers have been the unsung composers of a symphony that resonates with the deepest chords of our humanity. Today, as we stand on the cusp of a new dawn, let us pause for a minute—not in silence, but in celebration of the voices that have shaped our past, define our present, and will architect our future.
Imagine a world without the words of women. A library with empty shelves where the wisdom of half the human race should sit. It is unthinkable, yet for centuries, women's stories were confined to whispers in the wind. No more. The whispers have become roars, and the roars are now the anthems of nations and the lullabies of generations.
From the pens of Phillis Wheatley to Mary Shelley, from the activism of Sojourner Truth to the poetry of Gwendolyn Brooks, women have not just written books; they have written movements. They have not just penned stories; they have drafted the blueprints of revolutions. Their words are not mere sentences; they are the sentences of change.
In the vibrant landscapes of Africa, where the cradle of civilization rocks to the rhythm of progress, women like Nawal El Saadawi and Buchi Emecheta have painted the canvas of literature with the hues of resilience and hope. They have told tales not just of what is, but of what can be.
And today, in every corner of the globe, women authors continue this legacy. J.K. Rowling's wizarding world teaches us that magic is real and it lies in the power of belief. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's works inspire us to value the diversity in our personal stories and experiences. Margaret Atwood's dystopian visions warn us of futures we must work together to avoid.
As we celebrate International Women's Day, let us not just read these stories; let us live them. Let us be the characters of courage, the plots of passion, and the settings of solidarity. Let us write the next chapter together, where every woman's voice is heard, every woman's story is honored, and every woman's life is a testament to the power of words.
So, to the women who write: your quills are your swords, your notebooks your shields, and your imagination your kingdom. Rule well, write boldly, and know that the world pauses in awe of your infinite wisdom and creativity.
🌟 Feel free to share this article with your friends and family! Let’s celebrate the incredible women who shape our world. 🌟

Dear wonderful parents of Kenya,
As mid-term break envelops our homes with the laughter and excitement of little feet, let us take a moment to immerse ourselves in the timeless wisdom of “𝐓h𝐞 𝐏o𝐰e𝐫 𝐨f N𝐨w” by Eckhart Tolle and rediscover the true treasures in our midst.
🔶T𝐡e M𝐚g𝐢c o𝐟 𝐍o𝐰: In this very moment, your child’s laughter, curiosity, and innocence are unfolding. They don’t dwell in the past or worry about the future. They live fully in the now. Be there with them. Play, listen, and learn from their presence.
🔶T𝐢m𝐞 𝐢s a𝐧 𝐈l𝐥u𝐬i𝐨n: Eckhart Tolle reminds us that time is an illusion. What truly matters is this instant—the shared giggle, the messy art project, the bedtime stories. These are the real jewels. Cherish them, for they slip through our fingers like sand.
🔶𝐔n𝐜o𝐧d𝐢t𝐢o𝐧a𝐥 𝐋o𝐯e: Children love unconditionally. They don’t judge or hold grudges. Their hugs are pure magic. Soak it in. Let go of distractions, screens, and to-do lists. Be present. Your child’s smile is the greatest reward.
🔶𝐂r𝐞a𝐭i𝐧g M𝐞m𝐨r𝐢e𝐬: Mid-term breaks are like tiny time capsules. Fill them with picnics, stargazing, and whispered secrets. These memories will weave the fabric of your family story. They’ll be the stories your children tell their children.
🔶𝐓h𝐞 𝐆i𝐟t o𝐟 𝐂o𝐧n𝐞c𝐭i𝐨n: When you truly see your child—without judgement or agenda—you gift them a sense of belonging. They feel valued, heard, and loved. And in return, they gift you their hearts.
So, dear parents, put away the worries, the emails, and the chores. Dive into the now. Your child’s laughter is the real gold. Let it light up your days. 🌟✨
Remember, these moments are fleeting. Seize them like precious gems. Happy mid-term break! 🌟

Valentine's Day may be over, but love is still in the air. And we're not talking about the romantic kind. We're talking about the love for education. The love that drives you to go back to school after a break, to pursue your dreams, to challenge yourself, to learn something new.
You may have stopped your education for various reasons. Maybe you had to work, raise a family, deal with health issues, or simply take a break. Maybe you felt like you had enough education, or that it wasn't for you. Maybe you were afraid, bored, or discouraged.
But something changed. Something sparked your curiosity, your ambition, your passion. Something made you want to go back to school, to further your studies, to expand your horizons. Something made you fall in love with education again.
And you're not alone. Many people around the world choose to resume their education at different stages of their lives, regardless of their age, background, or circumstances. They are the ones who drop their kids off at school and then head to school themselves. They are the ones who wear a school uniform with pride and confidence. They are the ones who ask for pocket money from themselves, because they are their own pocket and money.
They are the ones who prove that love is blind. That love for education is blinding. That it doesn't matter how old you are, how long you've been away, or how different you are from your classmates. That all that matters is your desire to learn, to grow, to achieve.
But going back to school is not easy. It takes courage, commitment, and hard work. It also takes some adjustment, some planning, and some support. That's why we want to share some tips and resources to help you succeed in your educational journey, no matter where you are or where you want to go.

🔹 𝐃o y𝐨u𝐫 𝐫e𝐬e𝐚r𝐜h. Before you enroll in any program, make sure you do your homework. Find out what the program offers, what the requirements are, what the costs are, and what the outcomes are. Compare different options and choose the one that best suits your needs, goals, and preferences.
🔹S𝐞e𝐤 𝐬u𝐩p𝐨r𝐭. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Seek support from your family, friends, colleagues, mentors, or counsellors. They can offer you advice, encouragement, or assistance.
🔹 M𝐚n𝐚g𝐞 𝐲o𝐮r t𝐢m𝐞 𝐚n𝐝 𝐫e𝐬o𝐮r𝐜e𝐬. Going back to school can be demanding and stressful. You have to balance your studies with your other responsibilities, such as work, family, and personal life. You have to budget your money and find ways to fund your education. You have to prioritize your tasks and set realistic goals. You have to take care of yourself and avoid burnout.
🔹𝐄n𝐣o𝐲 𝐭h𝐞 𝐩r𝐨c𝐞s𝐬. Going back to school can also be fun and rewarding. You can meet new people, make new friends, and network with professionals. You can explore new topics, discover new interests, and develop new skills. You can have fun, be creative, and express yourself. You can celebrate your achievements, big or small.
Going back to school is a brave and beautiful decision. It shows that you love yourself, that you love education, that you love life. It shows that you are never too old, never too late, never too different to learn. It shows that you are a lifelong learner, a dreamer, a doer.

If you have, then you should look no further than the story of King David, one of the most famous and influential figures in the Bible and in history. David was not born a king, nor did he inherit a throne. He was a shepherd, a musician, a warrior, a fugitive, a friend, a father, and a boy. He was a boy who became a king, and a king who never forgot that he was a boy.
David’s story is not only a story of a boy and a king, but also a story of the boy child, the boy who is chosen by God, trained by God, and used by God for His glory and His purposes. David’s story is a story that can inspire, challenge, and encourage every boy child today, who is also a king in the making.
How do we know that David was a king in the making? How do we know that every boy child is a king in the making? Let us look at some of the lessons that we can learn from David’s story, and how they apply to the boy child of today and beyond.
𝐋e𝐬s𝐨n 1: 𝐆o𝐝 𝐥o𝐨k𝐬 𝐚t t𝐡e h𝐞a𝐫t, 𝐧o𝐭 𝐭h𝐞 𝐚p𝐩e𝐚r𝐚n𝐜e.
When Samuel was sent to anoint the next king of Israel, he looked at Jesse's sons based on their outward appearance. But God said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7). Thus, David, the youngest and least likely candidate, was chosen by God because of his heart, not his status or appearance.
What does this teach us about the boy child? It teaches us that God does not judge a boy by his appearance, his age, or his status, but by his heart. It teaches us that God can choose any boy, even the least and the last, to be a king for His kingdom. It teaches us that God can see the potential and the purpose of every boy, even when others cannot.
𝐋e𝐬s𝐨n 2: 𝐆o𝐝 𝐭r𝐚i𝐧s t𝐡e b𝐨y i𝐧 𝐭h𝐞 𝐟i𝐞l𝐝, n𝐨t i𝐧 𝐭h𝐞 𝐩a𝐥a𝐜e.
After being anointed, David didn't immediately ascend to the throne. Instead, he returned to the fields to tend his father's sheep. It was in the wilderness that David learned valuable lessons of faith, courage, and leadership.
This teaches us that God trains the boy in the field, not in the palace. It teaches us that God uses the ordinary and the mundane, the simple and the humble, the natural and the practical, to shape the character and the skills of the boy. It teaches us that God does not waste any experience or opportunity, but uses them to equip the boy for his future. It teaches us that God does not rush or force, but waits and guides, until the boy is ready for his destiny.
L𝐞s𝐬o𝐧 𝟑: G𝐨d u𝐬e𝐬 𝐭h𝐞 𝐛o𝐲 𝐭o d𝐞f𝐞a𝐭 𝐭h𝐞 𝐠i𝐚n𝐭, n𝐨t t𝐡e a𝐫m𝐲.
When faced with the giant Goliath, David's faith and courage propelled him forward. Despite being a mere boy, he trusted in God's strength and defeated Goliath with a sling and a stone. This teaches us that God can use anyone, regardless of age or stature, to accomplish His purposes. Every boy child has the potential to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles with faith and courage.
The story of David is not only a story of the past, but also a story of the present and the future. It is a story that shows us how God can use a boy to accomplish His will and His plan, and how a boy can become a king in the making. It is a story that teaches us some valuable lessons on how the boy child can navigate the 21st century and beyond.

• G𝐨d l𝐨o𝐤s a𝐭 𝐭h𝐞 𝐡e𝐚r𝐭, n𝐨t t𝐡e a𝐩p𝐞a𝐫a𝐧c𝐞
The boy child should not be judged by his physical features, his age, or his social status, but by his inner qualities, his values, and his goals. The boy child should also not judge himself or others by these superficial standards, but by the content of their character and the sincerity of their faith.
• 𝐆o𝐝 𝐭r𝐚i𝐧s t𝐡e b𝐨y i𝐧 𝐭h𝐞 𝐟i𝐞l𝐝, n𝐨t i𝐧 𝐭h𝐞 𝐩a𝐥a𝐜e. The boy child should not despise the ordinary and the mundane, the simple and the humble, the natural and the practical, but embrace them as opportunities to learn, grow, and serve. The boy child should also not rely on the artificial and the glamorous, the complex and the proud, the digital and the virtual, but use them wisely and moderately, as tools and not as idols.
• G𝐨d u𝐬e𝐬 𝐭h𝐞 𝐛o𝐲 𝐭o d𝐞f𝐞a𝐭 𝐭h𝐞 𝐠i𝐚n𝐭, n𝐨t t𝐡e a𝐫m𝐲. The boy child should not be afraid of the challenges and the obstacles, the dangers and the enemies, that he may face in his life, but confront them with courage and faith. The boy child should also not depend on the weapons and the strategies, the numbers and the alliances, that the world may offer him, but trust in God and His power, His promises and His presence.
