The story series Experience vs. Reality is an informative and educative prose with the aim to enlighten parents on passing on values of life to their children. Some lessons learnt in life are meant to teach an individual and properly guide such along life’s journey. However, it might not necessarily apply to another person and that’s because paths are different and quite distinct. This is displayed in the Family of Mr. Albert.

She offered free after school tutorials to students who didn't do well in her subject and other subjects that had to do with calculations. She made it really simple for them though some lazy and unserious students didn't leverage on this free plate of pie which could have cost their parents so much if they billed for it. It was the school's visiting/Open day and parents and guardians were allowed to check on the performance of their children/wards.

It was a very busy day as cars of different kinds flocked into the school premises, with each chi...
