Menstruation is natural. The shame attached to it is man-made.

I may not always say it out loud, and I know I am not the best at expressing what I feel, but deep within me lives a quiet appreciation for the people and values that shape my life.

My King and my country come first in my thoughts, followed by my parents and siblings, and then my leader, my colleagues, and my students, all of whom hold a meaningful place in my heart.

I often carry a straight face, one that may not reveal much, but behind it lies a deep sense of respect and care. It is not that I do not feel, it is that I feel deeply, just silently. In the little things, in shared conversations, in moments of learning, and in the presence of my school community, I find a sense of belonging that words sometimes fail to capture.

When I pray, my thoughts follow a path that reflects my priorities. My King and country come first, as they guide and protect us. Then come my parents and siblings, who are my foundation and my journey. Soon after, my mind turns to my students, my school, and my colleagues, the people I spend so much of my life with and grow with each day.
Only at the end do I think of myself.

Perhaps that says something about who I am. I may not be expressive, but I am grateful. I may not always speak my feelings, but I carry them with sincerity.
In my own quiet way, I value, respect, and care deeply for the people and responsibilities entrusted to me.

To my fellow teachers,
If you really want to grow as a human being/professionally, you must be willing to see yourself as you are, not as you imagine yourself to be. Feedback simply helps you do that.

Most people are comfortable living in their own illusion. They believe they are right, they believe they are doing well, but they have never truly looked at themselves. When someone gives you feedback, it disturbs this comfort. That disturbance is not a problem. That is the beginning of growth.

Feedback is like a mirror placed in front of you. You may like what you see, but it shows you something real. If you have the courage to look into it without turning away, you will naturally grow.

The problem is not feedback. The problem is the way you receive it. If you become defensive, you lose the opportunity. If you become receptive, every word can become a tool for transformation.

Do not think in terms of praise or criticism. Both can mislead you if you are not conscious. Just see what is true. If something is true, it does not matter who says it. Use it to become better. If it is not true, there is no need to react.

Growth is not about becoming something else. It is about removing what you are not. Feedback helps you peel away those layers slowly.
So if you are serious about personal growth, do not avoid feedback. Invite it. Accept it with clarity. Use it wisely.

Then growth is not an effort. It becomes a natural process.
