In the area where I grew up, there are many old people. But I just want to talk about my uncle. He is the person I grew up seeing, and he was always there for me. I have known him since I was in primary school. I can say since I was a child. I used to know my uncle. He was a teacher at a school I attended when I was in grade one, my primary level. He retired when I was still in grade two, so I don't know much about his school life. But what I know, I heard many things about him from those who were older than me. They talked about him a lot, saying he was a good teacher and that he could give good advice to learners. Since I knew him at home, he used to give me good advice. He was the one who advised me to pursue a diploma in education so that I could learn how to teach learners. He told me that being a teacher is a good job because you can balance home and work; you can balance everything. I think he did a great job because I can balance everything. I can go to work and take care of my family. I also learned other things from my uncle; he was a farmer. Right now, he is very old and cannot see; he is now blind, so he no longer goes to the fields. But he was a farmer, and he taught me how to be a farmer, how to grow different types of crops, and how to feed your family and work hard. I think the way I am today is because of him. I can work for myself and do everything for my family without fear or hesitation. I give thanks to him because he is such a great person. He taught me many things.
