10 TEACHING SHOCKS TO EXPECT IN POLISH EDUCATION

Image
As international students we are pretty used to different systems of tutoring. In fact, the Nigerian in me was expecting a strict style of education in Poland as I thought the UK standard was what all countries in Europe adopted, my parents would even often say to me, "study hard ooo, their grading system is different abroad ooo", my heart will be doing gbim gbim. Alas, there was no cause for alarm. Although, I can't really conclude if it was just my school that was laid back or it was like that in most Polish universities. Anyway, I'm thankful studying in Poland didn't give me depression. However, as laid back as the education system was generally, there were some "teaching shocks" I didn't see coming, especially the gym lessons. If you are planning to study in Poland, these are some of the tutoring systems to look forward to. Enjoy 😉  Photo by Severinus Dewantara on Unsplash THE ACCENTS -   This shouldn't necessarily be a shock as it is well

TOP 10 BEST REASONS TO CONSIDER STUDYING IN POLAND THIS YEAR

Image
In the topic of "study abroad", European countries are mostly overlooked. Many see Europe as a tourist destination, not a place you go get a degree or settle in. Although, I must say, that mindset is changing nowadays. Having lived in Europe for years now, I can categorically attest to the beauty and serenity of living here.  Among the most talked about countries in the Europe, Poland is rarely mentioned. I guess it's because people still think of it as a communist or third world European country. In-fact, I have seen people say they have never heard of Poland, some others think it's in Asia. Well, I can write without any doubt that Poland is now one of the most developed countries in Europe, the rate at which this place went from bottom of the barrel to being one of the most sought-after destinations for IT and other international companies should be acknowledged.  Without further much-ado, here are some reasons to consider studying in Poland this year.

NEW YEAR, NEW PERSPECTIVE, NEW BEGINNING!!!

Image
New Beginning For most people with myself included, January is just a trial month, the New Year really begins in February or March (depending on the mood)😉. Anyhoo, we are in February, so I guess it's now safe to say HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023 🎆🎇🎉.  When I look back on last year, I feel nothing but gratitude. Yes, there were ups and downs, happiness and sadness, hope, confusion, faith and clarity. But, in all, I am grateful. I am even more grateful about this year and what it has in stock for me.  I know the year just began, and our mental state may be sort of dis-organised right now. But, the theme for this year is "New Year, New Perspective", we are going to try to see things differently this year. We have learned from previous mistakes and we are going to tackle this year in a different light. Here are some perspectives we can have towards this year.  This year, we are having a positive attitude towards how we handle life. This year, we are pushing down negativity as much

Image
voanews.com   The United States Capitol Complex is a group of about one dozen buildings and facilities in Washington, D.C., that are used by the U.S. Federal government. On Wednesday, the 6th of January 2021, pro Trump supporters stormed the U.S Capitol building to protest the certification of Joe Biden's victory by the congress. A lockdown was ordered by the police citing threats to security as thousands of protesters stormed the building, some harmed. Tear gas was used to stop some of the protesters as they tried to break down the door to one of the house chambers. It was reported that 13 people and 5 weapons have been recovered so far by the police. The election certification is a routine and ceremonial function performed usually and it is the final step after the Electoral College officially elected Biden on December 14, but the certification was challenged by a few GOP members of Congress.

AMAZING EVENTS TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN 2021

  1. Travelling and Visiting family Like so many others, I am really looking forward to this.   If all goes well with the Vaccine, we should be able to mingle freely.  2. Worldwide Circulation of Covid-19 Immunization Thanks to Pfizer and BioNTech for the creation of the vaccine, we are looking forward to it reaching everyone. Since it was released to the public last month, there has been no death recorded from the use of the vaccine, so, I believe to some extent it is effective. While it is not a cure for the virus, it is a great way of sustenance. 3. JoeKamala Inauguration The moment majority of the world has been looking forward to is fast approaching.  The event is slated for 20th of January 2021 at the West Front of Capitol t he theme for the inauguration is "Our Determined Democracy:Forging a More Perfect Union."  The inaugural ceremony will be 80% virtual. 4. 6G We have heard of 3G, 4G, 5G, apparently 6G is now in the works.   They are described as different generation

Mr & Mrs Nice Syndrome: PROS AND CONS OF BEING TOO NICE

Image
        Nice can be defined as the attitude of being pleasant and polite to people. Many of us are taught from a very young age to be nice and kind to everyone we meet because one good turn deserves another... Christianity even further advices that when people do you wrong, you turn the other cheek, which means you be the bigger person.       Whilst this teaching is very good and useful, it doesn't apply to everybody and that's the part that most parents, guardians, caregivers and tutors omit. Majority end up learning this on their own, some at a very high damaging expense. The truth is life happens, people are raised and taught differently so you can't go through life thinking that everyone will return the favour. I also want to point out that being too nice is not wrong but whilst being nice, you should learn to be vigilant and alert, so you don't lose yourself in the process. Being too nice is good but it has it Pros and Cons. PROS • You make a lot of friends, you

CORONAVIRUS VACCINE: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

Image
Daniel Schludi for Unsplash What Is In The Vaccine? The active ingredient is messenger RNA that carries instructions for making the virus’s spike protein, which it uses to gain entry to cells. The mRNA is synthetic, not extracted from actual viruses. It is delivered in a tiny sphere of inert fatty material called a lipid nanoparticle. The RNA-bearing nanoparticles are suspended in saline solution and injected into muscle tissue in the upper arm. The mRNA is then taken up by specialist immune cells, which follow its instructions to make the spike protein, just as they would do if they had become infected with the actual virus.

International Day For The Abolition Of SLavery: All You Need To Know.

Image
This day was initiated by the United Nations General Assembly on 2nd December 1949. The main focus of this day is eliminate present-day forms of enslavement such as sexual exploitation, human trafficking, child labour, forced/early marriage and the forced recruitment of children for use in armed conflict. Enslavement has evolved in different ways throughout history. Today some traditional forms of enslavement persevere in their earlier fashion while others have been modified into new ones. Most occurence of slavery are the result of aged long discrimination against vulnerable people in the society, such as people of tribal minorities, indigenous people and people of low class. Major Forms Of Modern Slavery Forced Labour- Migrant workers are mostly at the receiving end of this, they are usually sweet-talked or coerced into accepting the offers for economic exploitation in all parts of the world, some are later forced into prostitution, domestic help, construction work, food and clothin

DELICIOUS Food Combinations That Are BAD For You

Image
  1.   Banana and Milk No doubt the combination of these two, looks and tastes yummy but they shouldn't be eaten together. The reason for this is that they are both heavy foods. The digestion of milk and bananas are difficult and can slow down the proper function of the brain. Bananas have heating qualities while milk has cooling qualities, bananas turn sour during breakdown and becomes toxic when mixed with milk. The opposite functions of the two when combined, can lead to allergies, rash, cough and cold in some people.  (Strongherapp.com)

MONDAY MOTIVATION: 5 GOOD REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD LOVE MONDAYS

Image
1. It inspires you to set out and achieve new goals: Unlike the weekends, when all you are thinking about is resting or going to the bar and hanging out with friends, Mondays juices up your serious and goal getting hormones and motivates you to doing greater things. Photo by Sydney Rae for Unsplash 2. It gives you a fresh start: You like many other people on the planet, probably did something crazy on the weekend or you abandoned a project that you were working on because it was the end of the work week. But when Monday comes, it reminds you to pick up from where you left off and it might even inspire an easier way for you to complete your unfinished projects.
