where do i know from

everyone one grew up in different household where the certain values were installed to them. being the only child who eventually became daddy's girl since my father is the one who brought me up, he always taught me to be kind, respectful and also aways remember where i am from and who i am. i came from the Christian home, tradition wasn't something that we followed that strictly ,I'm talking about like Basotho tradition, one thing that i know is that i have to read the bible and interpret it my way not to let anyone tell me what it means or let them interpret it their way for me. and this helped me a lot because growing up we had like these different churches where you will sometimes ask yourself what's going on as you see them turn bible and the word into moneymaking machines. one more thing which was the big deal in my family was getting pregnant before marriage, if it was within their power    they were going to make sure that you abstain that's how big it was, but then at some point i think i thank them for that because seeing my age mates get pregnant while we were still at school and how some of them dropped out and others struggled to raise their kids while at school made me realize were they are coming from and i didn't want to see myself in that situation

reflecting on stereotypes and stigmatizations

Most of the time we as people judge people without knowing them or their story. For a very long time in my life, I used to believe that boys have their role and so is girls, so seeing boys pose like girls and dressing like girls and girls dressing like boys and behaving like them made me distance myself from them and i will criticize and judge them even go as low as calling them names. this affected most of them as it made others not to be comfortable revealing their sexuality and some lost their confidence and self-esteem. back then i never learned about this sexuality differences because of the religion as gays and lesbians were considered to be demonic or possessed.

Stereotypes have been a thing for a very long time, for example let's take Africa, western countries view Africa as this one continent that suffers from poverty and people from this continent are uneducated, they are only good for domestic work. No one can blame them for that as it was what have been going on during colonialism and Africans have been treated like slaves. it goes back to a point were when you are an African and have to do or work on something you have to work twice as hard to prove that you are capable before you are approved to work internationally, at some point we will compare this with the fact that for a very long-time woman is supposed to work very hard to prove that they are capable of doing the very same job that a man is doing or even do better than them, and the fact that most of the time in the same post man earn more than women. this are some of the stereotypes that happen between genders and race if i may say

reflective activity on my social life

knowing myself or so do I think I know myself; I am a very social person who is very outgoing, I meet few new people daily and get attached emotionally to others and transactionally to others as our "friendship' will be that both of us will benefit on. without saying names, I recently met this guy who is much of a business guy, he owns a local clothing TOWNSHIP TEXTILE brand, that's what he calls his clothing line found myself marketing for him and got inspired to open my own business with his help.

Most of the people in my life are that we can laugh, party and enjoy the moment with only one or two i could actually depend on when I'm in need and it's so funny how everyone's knows that when they are in need, I'm a go to person. with the varsity life and everything that is going on I find myself being able to open up to people more than i thought i could actually, sharing life experiences we had minding that with age everyone went through their own journey and for me I believe one can learn from others experiences and mistakes. what I like mostly about the people who are around me is that they have that hustling spirit and they really know what they came here to do as the really take their studies serious and they make sure that the whole circle is doing well as they will just go out of their way to remind you of tests quizzes and other things that are school related.

a journey through my normal day

everyday life is full of moments, challenges and joy, and each one of us face them in a different way. here is a bit insight on what I do on a daily basis.

MORNING

The day begging's with a gentle sound of an alarm clock, its persistence sound is a reminder that another journey through the hours has begun. with that sleepy yawn, I reluctantly part ways with the comfort of my bed, stepping into the realm of being awake. First things first I will just kneel down and make a short prayer thanking the lord for the gift of life and a new day of new experiences and joy as that's what one will expect for the day. during that morning hustle there will be a quiet moment were i will be reflecting on my daily schedule and do few preparations for the day. then i will glance through the window when I open it just to get that fresh air. now it's time to take a shower and start my daily hustle.

when the sun climbs in the sky, I know it's time for me to head off to campus to attend classes, depending on how many I have for that day. having conversations with module mates between the classes. usually, my classes end before lunch or maybe I will have one or two in the morning and one in the evening so most of the time I will just have lunch at my place or grab something at the cafeteria once in a while. after my evening class if I had one, I would just head back home and have a moment with my books

as the night descends i will find myself feeling sleepy again, surrounded by the chaos of life I will find myself with sense of gratitude for the laughter shared, challenges overcome and that quite moment of reflection again for the night, and there we are again a short prayer and then boom getting asleep again.
