Proprietress Tasks Parents On Children’s Moral Guide
The Proprietress of Dia
mond Stars International school, Port Harcourt, Mrs Helen Oboka, has urged parents and guardians to give moral guide and financial support to aid their wards and children in order to better their lives in the society.
Mrs Oboka, who stated this during the first “professional day,” organised by the school, last wednesday, at rumuosi, port harcourt, said moral guide and financial support to children would go a long way in alleviating evey form of violent act in the lives of their children.
“As parents, you must give your children the moral guide and financial support in the choice of his/her profession… if you allow your child, who is a future leader to drop out of school, he/she can only be a nuisance to the society,” she emphasised.
Stressing on the importance of the theme “towards a great future, mrs oboka noted that “the childe is the centre of every activity we carry out in this school.”
In his presentation titled, “career foundation,” Mr peter akpan, guidance and counseling expert, stressed the need for career counselors to sensitise children from pre-nursery to enable them direct their focus on what to become in future.
Mr Akpan stated that as much as every one aspires to be a professional and pursue a career that is meaningful and fulfilling, not every one achieves it.
According to him, many people are in jobs that make them feel bored, unmotivated and frustrated: “imagine spending at least 40 hours in a week on a job that you don’t enjoy, it means for a large proportion of your life time, you will be both unfulfilled and unhappy.”
he explained that, for this reason, every body needs guidance in the selection of a career, and the best time to get it is as a child.”
Speaking on the topic,” how to be a journalist,” Mr Soibi Max-Alalibo, a Deputy editor of The Tide newspaper gave 10 tips for young aspiring journalists.
They are inspivation, education, competition, job opportunities, location, process, timing, remuneration, relationships and risk/reward.
He explained that as in most fields of endeavour, “something or somebody must inspire you to be a journalist,” but “you need education in a relevant field to be a qualified journalist.
He noted that while there is intense competition in securing a good job, which is usually located in urban areas, the process of getting the job is highly dependent on the commitment of the individuals,” who should start writing for publication early enough because at the end of the day, you find that what ever you publish becomes part of your curriculum vitae.
Mr max-alalibo, therefore urged the young aspiring journalists to be focused early in life and keep good relationships at all stages, knowing that these relationships are possible news sources.
Highlight of the occasion include the dedication of the school hall and presentation of young professionals dressed in relevant out fits.
