My last day of teaching
What a day of teaching looks like
Today is my last observation with lots of contemplation
Lesson started steady and I was prepared and ready
Learners started sketching their thumbnails
With joyous wails
Practical work is a favourite in this class
No one would take a pass
My delivery was clear and professional
The activities were sensational
A learner became upset
their emotions became a threat
I alerted the progression coach
She had just the right approach
The learner was given a choice
Encouraged to use their voice
Her mother came to collect them
Reassured them it was not a problem
The lesson concluded
extreme upset was eluded
I managed this well
I felt my skills were parallel
All students left content
I gave one-hundred percent
Context: So this was my last day of teaching a trainee, I am now a qualified teacher so I will be teaching again but this was a big turning point for me, that I had finished my course.

The Land of Dragonia: The Unlikely Heroine
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. The time before the dragons came to the land of Draconia was later renamed the land of Dragonia once dragons had settled in its vast Valley. It was a peaceful time when humans had just settled and began to cultivate and mine the land in hopes of establishing a home to bring up their young and live in harmony. No one knows where the dragons hailed from or why they picked The Valley of Hyacinth to reside but when they came down in droves, the humans did not anticipate that the dragons were not chaotic beasts of evil seeking to murder and take the land for themselves but instead wanted to negotiate a pact. The pact was that the dragons would help the humans cultivate and mine the land and live among them in peace. You see the dragons were not the kind of dragons you hear of in the many tales you heard as a child, these creatures had two forms. They were magnificently large, shiny scales and fire-breathing creatures but they could transform into humanoids that looked like any other human but had horns that sat like a mantle atop their heads, eyes that sparkled like crystals in the moonlight, and when fully grown possessed great strength. Although the King of the human settlers, known as The Great Vanguard the 1st agreed to the terms the Dragon leader known as Ren asked for, many of his subjects were afraid that such powerful beasts could overthrow them and take their home away in the blink of an eye and so word started to circulate and travel to the neighboring lands.

Trouble at the Tea Leafing Café
The rain had started right around the time that Annie was buttering her second thick slice of homemade toast for breakfast, and hadn’t paused since. Not that anyone could tell. The windows of the café were fogged over, and with every seat filled with happy customers munching on fresh baked pastries or steaming bowls of the delicious soup of the day, it was hardly surprising. Annie looked around the room, finally taking a moment to breathe after the lunch time rush. Her old life already felt like a bad memory, a part of her history, always, but just that. History.
