00:52There are about 300 children in my school, but there are only two subject teachers.
00:58I am an English teacher, but maths is my favorite subject, along with drawing.
01:08I really like drawing.
01:10When I joined the school, I saw that the children were very scared of maths.

01:55She only teaches drawing and playing.
02:10Everyone started respecting me.
02:12They were very happy that Ruby made my in-laws and my parents proud.
