Worth Noting:
- I am also a volunteer with our church organization hence making me a philanthropist. Growing up in Machakos I have seen it all if not all of it. I have seen children die due to lack of health care and basic needs. I have seen parents cry due to challenges that they face. With this in mind i have always wanted to give an impact to the society I am in. I have been volunteered to make change in the society and find even if it is that one lost soul.
- I haven’t been left out as a farmer. I do farming both in upcountry and I have also a project if how we can do farming in the city.
My name is Ruth Mutheu. I was born in Machakos County. I grew up there from my childhood and then came to Nairobi to study. I am a teacher by profession and a farmer by Passion and a statistic lady and a philanthropist. I have five years of experience in the profession. I love teaching it always makes me feel so good helping a child grow and reach their dream or goal. In Agriculture I do facilitation to farmers with the world changing healthy living advises such as eating meals rich in organic matter mostly the things they grow such as vegetables.
Funny story I didn’t want to be a teacher which later turned to be my noble profession. At first I hated it to be honest, I wanted to be a journalist, I loved seeing Lulu Hassan present news and that always motivated me , unfortunately I was not really good at Swahili and we all know languages play a big role in the career so after my KCSE I opted for bachelor of education -arts which I studied it at Mount Kenya University- Thika Campus. With time as I started practicing the career interacting with the learners and seeing how amazing it is to put a smile on a child’s face and changing their life I grew to love the career and I enjoy doing it. Apart from teaching I find myself doing statistic. This is due to my love of Mathematics. Many will get amazed how is a girl-child in love with Mathematics yet the world has positioned them to love languages. I am one among many in this world. I love doing statistics as a passion.
I am also a volunteer with our church organization hence making me a philanthropist. Growing up in Machakos I have seen it all if not all of it. I have seen children die due to lack of health care and basic needs. I have seen parents cry due to challenges that they face. With this in mind i have always wanted to give an impact to the society I am in. I have been volunteered to make change in the society and find even if it is that one lost soul.
I haven’t been left out as a farmer. I do farming both in upcountry and I have also a project if how we can do farming in the city.
Every teachers dream is by the end day their learners achieving the goal or objective of the day, so to me an ideal day is a day when I can truly tell that my learners have understand what I taught or seeing them thrilled to ask more questions and learn more it makes me feel so amazing. Mostly when I wake up in the morning I pray and ask God to grant me a good day and also good lessons.
I love solving problems with kids and helping them that’s my favorite part of my work. I also love to you diverse teaching strategies and methodologies to enable my teaching more interesting to the learners. The learners love mostly what I facilitate them as nowadays teachers are called facilitators. This is my greatest aim in my profession.
My greatest challenge is that not all learners have the same ability so it’s really not easy trying to make sure you reach out to every child despite their differences, it needs motivation and lots of support. Catering for all individual differences in the learners sometimes it becomes hard mostly when you lack support from even the parents.
Yeah, teaching isn’t easy honestly, the biggest challenge I have incurred is lacking support, trying to help a learner with zero parental support and concern is hard. I would love the parents to understand that we are all stakeholders in the Education sector. One should always check what their learners are doing mostly in this curriculum of the competence based.
I recognize progress no matter how small and appreciate it hence it keeps me moving also I got bills to pay and a life am looking forward to so that too.
Yeah sometimes I do advertisement for the school and more kids when they comes means my job will be safe. Again during holiday as a Philanthropist I do volunteering works with our church or different organizations in reaching out to the needy and also those who are not informed in the community. I offer my services as a teacher and even more to make the world a better place to live.
This is a really hard question and I don’t know how to perfectly answer it but all I could say is everyone is unique in their own way so find what is unique about you and what motivates you and follow it. Mostly in statistics I would love people to always get well with the facts. To teachers out here i would love them to understand that they are facilitators. They should always understand that for one to become a great teacher you must be prepared for obstacles and you should always understand your learners very well.
Teachers are really underrated and not appreciated so given a chance I’d really advocate for that, with this coming generation if you ask a class what they’d want to be when they grow up none of them wants to be a teacher if they were valued like most of the careers it’d even motivate kids to be teachers, so given a chance I’d fight for teachers and I’d make changes to show that they’re of value and need to be valued.
Well I really don’t post about my work that a lot but if need to reach out my Instagram page is ruthmutheu09 .
