connection – Poetry for Change

How do you balance work and home life?

As a teacher, after the day ends, I need time to recover my patience for my kids, so siesta! Yes, archaic, traditional, maybe, but it actually works. After waking up, I feel rejuvenated enough to be able to help my kids with their work with enough patience, I hope! My time was pretty much divided into early morning with kids and sandwiches for kids, school, home, eat, siesta, teach, make dinner, kids sleep, then time for my husband and lesson plans/ correcting tests.

The best way to keep the balance going is to make sure you spend quality time with each family member. This makes sure you are still connected to them, although your time is limited. Communication is a key component to creating that balance.

To Vote or not to Vote?

Do you vote in political elections?

I’ve come to the conclusion that elections in first or developing countries are rigged!

Notice that all scandals about electoral campaigns come out after the ‘President ‘ is elected and has power for a few years! What pisses me off is that politicians seem to feel that people lack the ability to connect events that place them in a negative light.

As you may have noticed, I dislike politics, but I also know that it’s a necessary evil everywhere you go. The problems we’re facing come with the dishonesty of the profession and its lack of keeping its promises. People need to become more aware and unite against this corrupt class of political leaders.
