Nothing is impossible if the mind is set to do it, that's why everything is base on the mindset. I shared with you here in one of post how I was teaching one of my timid students, who was so scared and afraid of climbing a bicycle because he couldn't ride but he always admired those who could ride well especially during sport days and sporting activities. One of the days, I noticed how excited he was, steering at bike rider at the end school year's sport festival. Dan can is intelligence student, he is been nicknamed Mr Science because of intelligent he in all science subject but Dan couldn't ride a bicycle and this made him felt bad of himself so I decided to teach him how to ride it.
I'm a certified teacher and I worked with one of the prestigious private school known by name as Begotten International Schools in the city of Uyo, one of the fastest growing city in Nigeria. A teachers are known as observers which help them to figure out problems so early, though I've been observing his enthusiasm, during one of the weekly sporting days, I called Dan I told him of my decision to teach him how to ride a bicycle, first thing I noticed on his face, was so much excitement and at this point, I knew his heart is ready to learn.
Meanwhile, it wasn't possible at the first two days I was teaching him because he has phobia for falling down but I tried to let know him that without pains there's no gain, I think this gave his the courage he needed and on the third day, Dan was able to ride the bike. In more than a month now since I taught him how to ride a bicycle and he is now an expert ride because I told his parents about the need to buy a new or fairly used bike which they did.
One of the outstanding character of this student is that he's a fast learner unless he's not just interested in it I was excited seeing him rode to school yesterday, as was approaching the school gate and saw me, he was smiling real good.
