While other teachers dismissed me as a waste of time and said I would never amount to anything, he paid close attention. He believed in me when it felt like no one else did. He poured knowledge into me patiently, spoke life over me, and even prayed with me. Most importantly, he never gave up.

At a time when many teachers in Nigeria relied on flogging and punishment to “correct” a slow child, Mr Kunle chose a different approach. He used encouragement, consistency, and positive affirmations. He proved that with the right support and care, even the child everyone had written off could become brilliant.

I carry that lesson with me till today.

Thank you, Mr Kunle ❤️
