My Perfect Day

The Day I Wish to Live a Million Times " Did you ever had the perfect day in your life?"  Dasho VC's question took me back and I remembered I had the one, in a small hut, full of smoke.... The Day was Perfect One Stubbornly doing things my way. With a heavy heart, I turned down many voices, Just to add one more to the expected count Drenched in sweat, with no time to catch my breath, As if something chased me from behind My restless mind refused even a moment’s pause. My hungry soul forgot the need for food, and even my aching body held itself together, for the beautiful feeling of being close to you Your presence carried me forward until the end. Migraine, sinus, and pain all faded away, as if they understood my purpose, refusing to stand in the way of my willing heart. Even my swollen feet endured till the very end, and the dizziness disappeared  whenever I pictured you in my mind. These tears have never truly stopped they fall even now... When I think of how ...

For example, instead of saying “good” or “wrong,” I will provide clear suggestions such as what they did well and what they ...

 Reflection on Educational Assessment  and evaluation Assessment and evaluation are important parts of the teaching and learning process. For the first time, I have come to understand that teaching is not only about delivering lessons but also about understanding how well students are learning. Assessment helps teachers gather information about students’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes, while evaluation helps teachers interpret that information to make meaningful decisions about learning and teaching. Through my learning in the assessment course, I realized that effective assessment supports students’ growth, improves teaching practices, and ensures that learning objectives are achieved. Education assessment refers to the process of collecting information about students’ learning through various methods such as test, assignments, observations, projects and discussions. It helps teachers understand students’ progress and learning needs. Evaluation, on the other hand, is t...
