🌟 Love Blessing – Episode 3: “The First Class”

📍 Asaba – Early Morning

The morning sun peeks through her curtain. Her small fan hums quietly. Alarm tone: soft gospel ringtone.

BLESSING (yawning):

First day... let’s go win.

She gets up, brushes her teeth, irons her skirt quickly, wears a sky-blue blouse tucked into a dark brown skirt. Her braids are wrapped neatly into a bun. She applies lip gloss and grabs her lesson note, pens, and water bottle.

⏰ 8:20 AM – Outside Blessing’s Apartment

Blessing walks toward the school, greeting neighbors.

BLESSING:

Good morning ma!

Smiles as she walks to Royal Heights Comprehensive School

🏫 8:40 AM – Primary 2 Classroom

She steps into a colorful, cheerful class. Plastic chairs. Alphabet posters. Kids chatter but freeze when they see her.

BLESSING:

Good morning class!

CLASS (in chorus):

Good morning ma!

BLESSING (smiling):

My name is Miss Blessing. What’s your name?

She points around. One by one, the kids speak.

Boy: Adeyemi!

Girl: Akinyemi.

Boy: Sam.

Boy: David.

Girl: Princess.

BLESSING (smiling):

Princess? What a beautiful name!

The girl blushes shyly.

📘 BLESSING (clapping hands):

Alright children, today we are learning Civic Education. The topic is Leaders.

BLESSING:

Please bring out your Civic textbook and your notebook.

Turn to Page 12.

The children obey quickly, flipping pages excitedly. Some murmur the word “leaders” out loud.

✍️ BLESSING opens her lesson note and begins to write on the board:

📖 Lesson Note – Primary 2 Civic Education

Topic: Leaders

Definition:

Leaders are people who help to guide others and make good decisions for everyone.

Examples of Leaders:

President

Principals

Teachers

Prefects

Community Leaders

Qualities of a Good Leader:

Honest

Kind

Fair

Hardworking

🧠 BLESSING Explains (in her teacher voice):

BLESSING:

A leader is not someone who shouts or forces people around.

A real leader helps people do the right thing.

Your class captain is a leader.

Your head girl is a leader.

Even your mummy and daddy at home — they are leaders!

📝 Class Activity Time

BLESSING:

Now I want everyone to write down the names of 3 leaders that you know in real life.

Examples:

It can be your class captain

Your uncle

Your church pastor

Your head teacher

Or even someone in your street who helps others

BLESSING:

Write neatly. I’ll mark your notes when you’re done.

👧🏽👦🏽 Students Write:

Adeyemi: My daddy, Uncle Chuks, my pastor

Princess: My mummy, teacher Gift, our class captain

David: My brother, the man that sells water, the president

✍️ BLESSING moves from desk to desk, marking with her red pen:

BLESSING:

✓ Good job, Adeyemi!

✓ Princess, very neat.

✓ David, well done — that water seller is a leader too, yes!

She smiles. It’s her first time feeling this joy — classroom peace, young voices learning.

⏰ 10:00 AM – Class Ends

She checks her timetable:

Next Class: Primary 1 – Social Studies at 12:00 PM.

BLESSING (thinking):

Hmm, I get time to rest small.

🏠 Blessing Returns Home

She walks down the sandy street, the school just behind her. Entering her apartment, she drops her bag, untucks her shirt, and drinks cold water.

BLESSING (sighing, happily):

One class down... and I didn’t fall flat. 😌

She lies on the bed, flipping through her Social Studies lesson note, smiling.

💤 Fade out as Blessing naps lightly before her next class...
