There is nothing like small wins

Image
There is nothing like small wins I always thought every win was not worth celebrating or making an announcement of. When some people come online to talk about their wins I sometimes feel they are overreacting, over-sharing, or even over-celebrating . Maybe it is because it is something I have achieved in the past or something I was able to achieve easily then I thought all of this was not necessary . But recently the school where I’m working as a student teacher has this wonderful and exceptional  tradition that they use to motivate student.

Having a gorgeous caramel complexion as a child was a big flex not  until adolescence. On my skin, white heads, hyperpigmentation, and zits were all performing. I eventually stopped looking in the mirror because I couldn't bear to look at my own face, and I tried to avoid it at all costs. I tried a variety of products, tried home treatments, and even spent my first paycheck on skincare items that didn't work. Most people find it strange if I admit that I have skin insecurities and that any problems with my skin have a negative impact on my self-esteem, but I eventually learned how to manage it. The truth is t...
