This large crowd of teachers in Ondo State, Nigeria, with their smartphones accessing the 1MT learning portal fills me with joy and brings tears to my eyes. This is exactly what I did five years ago.

In 2017, I discovered 1MT through a Facebook ad when I was in a difficult period. After speaking with Arinze Ejiofor and exploring the 1MT website, I knew this was where I belonged. The first course, "The Heart of a Teacher," transformed my attitude towards teaching and gave me a sense of self-worth.

1MT opened my eyes to opportunities, enhanced my skills, and connected me with educators worldwide. I am now proud to be a teacher and grateful to 1MT for the platform and support. To the new teachers from Ondo State, embrace this opportunity and apply your knowledge in the classroom.
