I didn’t start talking when other children my age typically did. This worried my parents, and I could see it on their faces whenever they recounted the story to me. Their voices carried the weight of that concern each time they reminisced during our family moments together. My mum, with a squint in her eyes and rounded lips—as if she was holding the very word in her mouth—would always tell me that my first word was ‘goal.’ Yes, ‘goal’! The irony that surprised them most was that, to this day, I am not even a fan of football.
Their joy at hearing my first word soon gave way to a new worry. I had become a stammerer, and that struggle often made me frustrated and quick-tempered. I would get agitated when I couldn’t express myself, especially in situations where I felt wronged. Before I could get a sentence out, I would stammer for what felt like minutes. I still remember the teasing chants of ‘mo mo mo mo momimi’ whenever I tried to call my mum. Friends and older boys would laugh, making me the target of their jokes.
But with time, I began to find my voice. I started to form my sentences without pausing, stringing words together smoothly. When I felt the familiar urge to stammer, I learned to stay calm. Relaxed! Composed! Smiled!. Years after those difficult struggles, I emerged as someone who could confidently express himself.
Today, I am an orator, a communicator, and a teacher. The boy who couldn’t speak until he was five has now taught and addressed thousands of people through both speech and writing. Never give up on anyone!
I celebrate myself and every person who has grown through the challenges life presents.
Happy Teachers’ Day!

* Jokes apart, the women actually called to ask about the fee.

A lot of idioms are fixed, so fixed that altering them would render them non-standard. Every culture has its idioms that should not be altered except the idiom itself gives room for such, and it is grammatically acceptable. Therefore, the above sentence is marred by the use of ‘Jokes’. When corrected, the above sentence will be:

* Joking apart, the women actually called to ask about the fee.
It is also correct to say joking aside.
