Sushina joined Inzozi Academy as a bright and curious child who began her educational journey with promise. At just ten years old and now in Primary 3, Sushina has been part of the Inzozi family since Nursery school. From the very beginning, she stood out as an intelligent and lively little girl. With the care, patience, and attentiveness of her teachers, she gradually grew into a bold, confident, and smart learner who enjoyed participating in class activities. Her early years at school were marked by steady progress and enthusiasm for learning.
However, as Sushina transitioned into Primary 3, something began to change. The class introduced new academic demands, and the learning content became heavier and more complex than what she had previously experienced. This sudden shift overwhelmed her. Instead of facing the new challenges head-on, Sushina began to withdraw from her responsibilities. Tasks that once excited her started piling up, and she gradually developed habits of disorganization and irresponsibility.
Her teachers noticed the change almost immediately. The once energetic and engaged learner was now struggling to keep up with assignments, particularly in English language lessons. She often left tasks unfinished and appeared distracted during lessons. What worried the teachers even more was that the same pattern was also happening at home. When they spoke with her father, he confirmed that Sushina had also become disorganized in her daily routines and less responsible with her chores.
Rather than criticizing or labeling her as a careless student, Sushina’s teachers chose to approach the situation with understanding and compassion. They realized that the sudden change in academic expectations from the lower classes to Primary 3 had overwhelmed her. Instead of punishing her mistakes, they focused on finding ways to guide and support her back to stability.
Her teachers began encouraging her and reassuring her that she was still capable of succeeding in this new class. They reminded her of the intelligent and confident learner she had always been. To help rebuild her sense of responsibility, they started giving her structured assignments and closely monitored her progress. Multiple tasks were assigned at the same time, but she was held accountable for completing each one. This approach gradually helped her develop better organizational skills and learn how to manage her responsibilities.
At the same time, the teachers worked closely with Sushina’s parents to ensure that the support continued at home. Television time was reduced at home and she was encouraged instead to focus on completing her household chores before moving on to other activities. Following this guidance, her parents created a more structured routine at home, reinforcing the same sense of accountability that her teachers were building at school.
Slowly but surely, Sushina began to regain her footing. With consistent encouragement from both her teachers and parents, she started completing her assignments at school and her chores at home. Her confidence gradually returned, and the sense of responsibility that had once faded began to grow stronger again.
Today, Sushina is doing much better both mentally and academically. She now shows greater concentration in her studies and takes her responsibilities more seriously. Her teachers have also noticed that she excels particularly in practical activities. She demonstrates strong creativity and leadership when organizing role plays and participating in class presentations, areas where her confidence truly shines.
Sushina’s journey is a powerful reminder that sometimes students do not fail because they lack ability, but because they need guidance when facing new challenges. With the support of observant teachers and committed parents, she was able to overcome a difficult phase and rediscover her potential.
Her story stands as a testament to the impact of patience, encouragement, and teamwork between school and home. With the right support system, every child can regain confidence, grow in responsibility, and continue moving forward on their path to success.
