HOW STUDENTS CAN UTILISE THIS EASTER PERIOD FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.

Posted on April 18, 2022April 18, 2022 by blessingwrites

The Easter period offers students a short break from academic activities. Some students can be carried away with funfairs and parties during this period. So, students must understand they can utilise this Easter break for personal development.

Personal development is the process of developing one’s capabilities and potential to achieve goals and enhance one’s lifestyle.

Contrary to what most students believe, personal development is not meant for adults alone. Students also need to develop themselves in specific areas that will help them stand out in their generation.

I have put together a list of activities students can engage in during this short break to improve their development process.

1). Read a book: Treasures are hidden in books. Most times, the knowledge you seek is hidden in the pages of the books you refused to read. There are many great books students can read to increase vocabulary/reading skills and expand their knowledge. Examples of such books include “Gifted Hands” by Dr Ben Carson, “How to make friends and influence people” by Dale Carnegie, “Who moved my cheese?” by Dr Spencer Johnson and “Separated: the tale of a missing child” by Blessing Izuchukwu-Nwaorgu etc.

2). Research a renowned personality in world history: By studying the lives of great people, students will learn how to overcome life challenges and fulfil their dreams. Some notable persons worthy of research include Ben Carson, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Barack and Michelle Obama, Mary Slessor, etc.

3). Study the history of their country or continent: This will help students appreciate their roots and the battles fought for civilization. Students will also be able to form a strong connection with their country.

4). Learn how to cook a local or traditional meal: Students who lack basic culinary skills can use this period to learn how to prepare one or two popular meals in their tribe. I believe they will also learn about the history and the culture surrounding those meals. This will help them form a connection with their roots.

5) Review previous term’s performance: Students can use this period to reflect on their previous academic performance and set SMART goals for improvement.

I want to help students become more productive because I believe their academic success is connected to how productively they use their time.

This led me to host my first online #webinar for students. My form students were the beneficiaries of this webinar after I got an approval from my school’s principal.

After the webinar, I created an ebook from the session and made it available at zero cost for students.

I titled the ebook THE PRODUCTIVE STUDENT.

In December 2021, I started working on a PRODUCTIVITY planner for students. I knew the planner will help students live a more organized and productive life.

Last week, I announced that the PRODUCTIVITY planner was available for free download.

However, some days ago, I began to imagine how beautiful it will be for students to actually have this planner as a printed copy instead of them printing it by themselves.

This will save them cost and time.

Thus, I am open for partnerships and sponsorships to make this a reality.

The target students are students of public schools in Bariga LCDA, Lagos, Nigeria.
