I could recall what truly occurred that week I was studying and preparing for my common entrance exam during my basic 5 in Potter's Christian Academy where I did my Basic 1-5 .Despite my best efforts, I consistently arrived late to school. I was always sorry and eager to explain why I was late, whether it was due to dealing with public transportation or doing house chores. Despite this, the teacher wasn't so eager to let it go that particular day and instead gave me the strangest penalty I had ever received: a week of cleaning the restrooms at the school.

I was mortified at first. How on earth could you expect me to accomplish this? For a week, clean the restroom at school. Even though I was given cleaning products and gloves to lessen my penalty

I started the week off on a cautious note and felt a lot of self-consciousness about everyone in the school noticing what I was doing. Fortunately, I was able to complete my work quietly because I was keeping my head down and everyone else was focused on after-school activities.

I scrubbed and scrubbed the toilets for the rest of the first day, getting rid of all the dirt and grit that had accumulated since the start of the academic year. I was astonished by the restrooms' dramatic transformation after I was done. To get it to this state using conventional cleaning supplies would have taken days.

I maintained a fairly meticulous pattern for the remaining days of my week-long penance, focusing on one bathroom at a time. I would begin each morning with a thorough cleaning and follow it up with an afternoon of more standard cleaning. The work would gradually begin to accelerate and become more effective with each toilet.

As the week progressed, I came to understand that there was satisfaction in being able to care for something with such care and effort. I finally had the sense that I had accomplished something. Although I found it challenging

The restrooms weren't simply a punishment for me by the end of the week. I had changed into a representation of how far I had come. Despite my initial embarrassment, I felt pride in caring for something that had only been given to them as a punishment.

The following week, even though I was not required to clean the restrooms as a punishment, I still made time for it. I occasionally took the time to clean the restrooms even though it required more work than it had previously

Despite my initial displeasure with the punishment, I ultimately gained insight. I realized how crucial it was to take a chance and value the fruits of my labor.

Even though it's unpleasant or unglamorous, sometimes the things we do that take the greatest effort are the ones that stick with us the longest.

Wow, you got to enjoy doing what was given to you as punishment? I'm thrilled. If I'm being honest, I could never get myself to enjoy such because I know how much some students can be, they'll mess the whole place up just to get on your nerves whether or not the place is messed up, I'd never bring myself to love such punishment 😂. Wash toilet for a whole week? school toilet for that matter. Can never be me.😂
