Francisca's Challenge - Episode 3

The first few days of the Maths tutorial classes was really what Francisca expected.

They explored difficult topics and were given assignments at the end of each class. She was perfectly comprehending every bit of it and to crown it all, Mr Newman has stopped making those immoral advances. 

Her fears were further mitigated the day Mr Newman asked her to drop his lesson notes in his office after the tutorials. At first, she hesitated but had to after convincing herself that nothing would happen. Nothing did happen as Mr Newman only thanked her as she left the office. 

Hmm! Everything seems to be falling in place and Francisca was cruising!

At last she could trust the new Mr Newman who was poised to help her get past her Maths challenge. 

She never knew she had taken the bait !

It was after a class that Mr Newman sent her to do the now normal duty of dropping his lesson note in his office. Just as Francisca was about to leave the office, Mr Newman pulled her back and close to his body. She was really scared but knew exactly what to do once he attempted to kiss her. She slapped and kicked him hard and then ran out of the office screaming. Since school was over by then, no one would hear her scream.

She hurried to her friend Rose who had orchestrated the plot with Mr Newman and asked that they leave the school premises at once. She was already on her way home debunking Rose's claim that she still had work to do in school. 

Rose pretended she never knew what happened on their way home as Francisca related the story of how Mr Newman attempted to kiss her. 

Francisca's Challenge Episode 1

To Francisca's utmost surprise, Rose was not in dissent of Mr Newman's advances. It was then that she related to Francisca the story of her affair with Mr Newman, explaining it was the reason why they were getting on good terms. She also mentioned that it was what almost every girl in class was doing. 

'You must use what you have to get what you want' she concluded. 

Francisca was really shocked at hearing this from a supposed friend. But she could now understand why things were going the way they were. 

Her strong moral family background would not allow her do something wrong in order to pass her exams. 

She made a firm decision on that day to take the bull by the horn. She would deal with her maths challenge alone. She would wake up at midnight to study for three hours while during the day, she would use her free time at school to study as well. 

'No one knows it all', she said do herself. 

The little I know now can fetch me a pass'. 

Francisca's Challenge Episode 2

A happy ending! 

Francisca was excited to receive her result at the conclusion of the exams.

She aced her other papers with an A1 with a B2 grade in Mathematics. 

Yes! She had done it!

The goosebumps all over were as many as the challenges she had to overcome to achieve this result.

At school the next day, it was announced that Mr Newman has been sent packing from the school to the prison yard having been found guilty of impregnating an underaged student. 

Rose was the victim!

Francisca knew she could have found herself in Rose's shoes if she hadn't made the right move at the right time. 

Now she could rest knowing that she has aced her Maths exam without Mr Newman. 

She won the challenge!

THE END!

Francisca's Challenge - Episode 1

It was the final year in college and those few weeks before the final exams.


Everyone in class was beefing up for the real deal. Even the seemingly lazy students were now dedicating reasonable time to their studies.

The intensive classes and extensive study time was however not a source of worry for Francisca as she was already accustomed to it.
She was 'the best student the school has produced in the recent years' as the school proprietor asserted in a radio interview.

Amid all the plaudits she has received from the school however, she had a lingering problem.

The Mathematics teacher has been making immoral advances towards her ever since she joined the school.
She has been successfully coping up and has smartly refuted all of his charges.
Right now, though, she had to deal with more as she needed to ask a huge favor of him.

It all began with an ill health which kept her absent from school for five months.

Now with few weeks left to the final exams , she has been playing catch ups. She has studied and tried to come to grips with all the class lessons conducted while she was away.

In fact, her studious disposition meant she had done the greater part of the job before now.

There was only one subject she struggled with - Mathematics.

Mr Newman would apparently give his consent to organizing extra classes for her but not without demanding something in return.

Those missed classes had key points that she needed to pass her exams.
How was she going to get them without his help?

She wasn't ready to fail her exams either.

Francisca thought about letting her parents in on her ordeal but on a second thought decided to take it upon herself to figure out a way.

What would she do?

The Final Laugh - Ken's Story (Episode 2)

During a preparatory class for the mathematics competition
attended by students, Ken left his school bag on the desk with his mathematics notebook on top.

Ben and Festus watched from close range, while Ken excused himself from the class to answer nature's call.

Ken had barely left the classroom when Francis, thinking that no one was watching, snapped up Ken's notebook.
Ben and Festus immediately walked up to him.
They gently made him return the note, as Ken had clearly stated that they were not to create a scene. Everything was now clear for them to understand.

They had sound confirmation that Francis was trying to kick Ken out of the picture, so that he could represent the school in his place. Ken knew he had to be careful from now on.

However, it was what followed next that made Ken regret, not reporting Francis to the school authority.

It was during the school's sport time. Ken and Francis were playing on opposite sides of a soccer team. Ken scored twice but had to be stretchered off just after that!

Francis went in with a tough tackle ,that twisted Ken's ankle. Ken could barely walk.

Fran's really knew what he was doing. No one would send someone with a twisted ankle to represent the school in a mathematics competition, he thought to himself.

Ken knew he had screwed up a bit, he has done his best to avoid Francis up till now, only to lose his guard with only one week left to the competition. What was he gonna do now.
Meanwhile, he had to walk around with a clutch and a bandaged ankle.

Hahaha!'

The laughter echoed down the hall where they were chilling with a bottle of soft drink each.

'Francis',  called with enthusiasm. 'you are a genius. I salute your cleverness. Even the P. E teacher never believed you did that on purpose.
From this day, I name you Albert Einstein Jr.'

The boys laughed sarcastically once more. Sipped the last drop of the drinks on their bottles and left their meeting place.

It was now two days to the actual competition.

Francis and his friends were also eagerly awaiting the announcement of the name of the student to represent the school. Of course, he knew it was going to be him but he just needed that confirmation.

The confirmation he got was however the least of everything he expected.

9 Tips To Help You Cope With School Stress

Waking up early in the morning, preparing for school, rushing off to school
, attending to school work and returning home with loads of assignments sums up what goes on in the life of every student.
This results in stress as the aforementioned activities become routine for the students.
Stress can be seen as pressure which one experiences due to a collection of factors like the ones mentioned.

Here are nine steps to help you beat school stress

1.Identify The Causes

Just as an ill health cannot be properly treated until it is diagnosed,the journey towards beating stress becomes an uphill battle unless you identify the likely causes. School stress sometimes arise when we take on just a little too much burden on ourselves. Not taking notes when everyone else is doing it adds the stress of having to do it when everyone is doing something else. In fact, procrastination of school work is the most major cause of school stress.Tackle each problem promptly.Peer pressure or the presence of a bully is another cause of school stress.

2.Evaluate Your Priorities

Acknowledging your reason for being in school helps you set priorities and make decisions on difficult issues when they suffice. Remember you must set your priorities and not let the choices of others around you form the basis on which you set them.

3.Do Not Procrastinate 

A few problems will disappear if you ignore them. But some would rather get worse as you allow it to wear on,thus increasing the volume of stress you must deal with. Work with a schedule if you can. This way, you get things done wen they should and you save yourself more time .Be punctual and avoid rush hour. You will save yourself the stress of having to go through a lot of books prior to exam if you form the habit of studying during the term.

4.Have A Positive View Of Your Abilities 

Possessing the ability to tackle school work does not mean you should take on more work than you can handle. Know when you've reached your maximum and desist from accepting more work especially extracurricular activities.

5.Be Realistic 

Having noticed what stress you out,you could divide it into two categories - those you can do something about & those you cannot control. First, work on the problems you can do something about and then you can relax while the other sort itself out. 

6.Be In Good Terms With Your Lecturers

Your teachers should be your close companions as they could have helpful advice that will help you beat school stress. They have been through school and understands just what it means to be a scholar. It would also save you the stress of failing a course you'd have gotten better grades at just because the teacher has something against you (oh! sure they sometimes do).

7.Limit The Time You Spend With Gadgets 

Technological advancements mean there is just enough to spend time on when you have a time off from school work.It however becomes a snare when these gadgets steal time that would have been used for school work. In fact, some students spend more time on social networks and video games than they actually spend with their books. This results in stress and even depression when the term reaches a point where they have to avoid gadgets or risking failing their exams.

8.Ask For Help

As the strongest weightlifter has his limits, so do you. When you feel overwhelmed by school stress, you could talk to your parents, a trusted friend or your favorite teacher. As them if they had faced similar situations,and also ask them to make practical suggestions.

9.Renew Yourself 

Make time for sufficient rest and balanced recreation. Get enough sleep at night and with regards to recreation,remember that it doesn't have to be expensive to be refreshing. You could take a walk,watch some TV depending on your hobby. Cultivate interests and friendship that are meaningful. This way you have something more than school work to think about.

Why People Join Cults ; Why You Should Not

A secret cult or gang is any organisation whose activities are only known to its initiated members with all their operations done in secret. It often involves ritual practices not made known to members of the public.
They have signs and symbols that may mean nothing to non-members.

Some youths especially students willingly join cult groups because of the following reasons:

1.To Gain A Sense Of Identity And Recognition

Some people want to be recognized as people of importance. However there is a huge difference between fame and notoriety. Being exceptionally good until people notice is fame while being exceptionally bad until people notice is notoriety.

Why You Should Not Join

Positive recognition comes not by doing the wrong things but by upholding the norms of the society.

2.Depression

Some students join cult groups after suffering several crisis from cult members. They join the cults to avoid being victimized by their peers who are into it.

Why You Should Not Join

It would be unwise to seek protection from something dangerous by doing the same dangerous stuff. Joining cult groups because of their advances means loosing your self-will and marks the beginning to ultimate slavery.

3.Lack Of Purpose

Most students join cult or gangster groups in the tertiary educational institutions when they do not really have a reason of being there. These students depend on other people to govern their lives.

Why You Should Not Join

Having a defined purpose of why you are on campus in mind will help you realize that cult activities are irrelevant to your goals.

4.In Search Of Protection

Some weak students join cults because they feel unsafe and want some form of protection which they believe the cult group can offer.

Why You Should Not Join

There are constant power tussles among rival cult groups which could lead to death of its members during cult wars or disagreement amongst members of the same cult.

Having deliberated on why some people willingly join cult groups, here are measures to take if you do not want to be initiated without your consent:

• Be careful with invitations for drinks and food. When you are intoxicated, you can be raped or robbed. Also photographs could be taken to blackmail you until you join the cult or gangster group.
• Do not attend parties and shows that you do not know the host especially on campus.
• Beware of sudden acquaintances. When one develops sudden interest in you, try to know what the person really wants from you.

Dangers Of Cultism

• Loss of life results during initiations or wars against rival cults. Cult members could suffer injuries or be permanently disfigured.

• Health problems are prevalent due to use of harmful drugs and blood by cult groups. An untested blood sample could inflict members with incurable disease.

• Poor academic performance is a record of cultists who have no time to attend lectures and are always in and out of police cells.

• Cultists loose their right to choose between right and wrong while dancing to the tune of their cult leader.

• Cultism breeds other social vices such as rape, robbery, blackmail, assassination.

Tips To Help You Break Free From Cultism

• Highlight the bad sides of your involvement in cult activities.
• Admit your error.
• Develop a strong desire to leave the group and carry it out.
• Be willing to make amends.
• Seek help from a responsible adult and security agencies in case of threat from members.

Conclusion

Cultism is not worth the hassle. Cult groups do not make you succeed academically or grant you financial stability. It only exposes you to serious problems.

Having a defined purpose of why you are on campus in mind will help you realise that cult activities are irrelevant to your goals.

Say 'NO' to cultism and enjoy your youthful years free of the worries that it brings.

• One can easily get addicted to viewing pornography which could in turn lead to sexual addiction.In this case  the individual will always seek new sexual content to the extent of desensitization (even the most graphic porn is no longer arousing).
• Sexually Acting Out: Sexual arousal is adrenaline and at this point,the individual takes a giant leap and tries rehearsing the actions stored in their minds.Sexual obsession results most notably in young minds as they get into sexual activity with bad notions.
• Wrong View Of The Opposite Sex:Porn portrays members of the opposite sex as a sex object disrupting the mutual respect which should exist between opposite sex members.

If your parents notice that you are always truthful, there trust in you grows.

• Keeping The Right Company: When you associate with the right people, there is a possibility that you are good. Because parents realize the effect of good friendship on their children, they will only trust their child more once they realize that he is always with the right set of people. 

• Do Not Fight With Them Over Words (Argue With Them) : No parent wants their children to argue with them,therefore, one of the ways to win your parents trust is learning how to handle certain situations that could result in outbursts. 

Discern when it would be right to bring up a topic and also approach your parents in a respectful manner. This makes them trust you more.
