A N T (Anthony Now Teaches): The Teacher Who Hates Reading and Writing

By Anthony Sabastian Marian

“Failed at subjects. Had bad grades in exams.
Not to worry, I’m a teacher.”

Were you ever a weak student in school? 
Always failing subjects and getting into trouble because you never got the point of studying?
And because of that, you thought that you would never make anything of yourself?
I get it, I was once there myself.
This book is here to tell you that story you tell yourself and that society tells you, is rubbish.
Not doing well in school does not mean you cannot succeed in life.
Here is my story, one of the many possibilities of success.
It’s not about how good your grades are, it’s about finding that passion in your life and using that as a reason to succeed.

“If you marry me, you’re going to have to do an MBA.” This was the game changing phrase for Anthony Sabastian Marian. Though he had a challenging time in his life journey, he is always thankful for the support and love from his family, friends and his loving wife, Rebecca. Being the eldest child in the family taught him how to navigate unchartered territory via the school of hard knocks. For 12 years, he worked in Sales and Marketing in the healthcare industry before making a drastic career switch to the education industry. Drastic, because he never enjoyed reading and writing and least of all school. And now, he makes a difference in young lives. Everyday.
