Am woman with deep passion for teaching children. Got a degree in English education from lasu.Got married in 1996 started a private sch in 1999.
Rent a building in 2000 and run the school in that building till covid 19 came in.
Had issues after lockdown because I couldn’t pay rent and the negotiations on buying the building fell apart.
Managed to start first term with faith but couldn’t resume in January 2021 because of legal battle on the building so I packed out and couldn’t secure a nearby land because of funds.
The school is my vision but I enjoyed great support from my husband. Now am thinking of waiting a bit ,see how to buy a landed property and build my on it before starting again.
My concern is should I stay in that neighborhood or I shd move to another area.. The area is a local suburb in Lagos state (alagbado to be precise)
Also should I get a job outside my area just to keep abreast of new innovation in education or I should stay at home and take online courses?
I have 4 children .My first boy graduated from fut Mina He will complete his Nysc by march. my second boy is an undergraduate .The third boy just pass out from secondary sch.my last baby is a girl in jss 3.My husband is financially capable but am concerned about my vision that is the private sch. Am already 52years though I look younger as if am in my late twenties Am explaining all this so that you will get the true picture of my situation My passion for actualizing my dream and vision is deep.I need godly counsel

Ma I strongly believe you have a great vision , I sense you truly desire to impact the lives of these kids.
I suggest you evaluate if you still see if you can have a property in that area , if you have more of students there.
Most times we get through some unfavorable situations but we need to think deeply , be courageous and dare even more.

Your passion in undeniable and I believe it makes you happy.
The main thing is to feel accomplished, starting your own lesson at home sounds good,you can as well save while you keep your students around with the lesson. Since you are registered,I may not know how long it will take you to save money to purchase the land except if your husband can assist but in the main time,do what you love most with the little resources while you save for more. Getting a job at your age may not make you happy because you may not have the ability to go through serving others.
