My network reflect on the people around me they shape me as a person.
my family provide me with economic capital they give me food and a roof over my head. My sister support me in life by catching my tears before they land on my check. My brother gives me grey hare and makes me laugh until my stomach hurts .My brother and sister loves so brag about me by their friends that also gives me social capital because their friends then also wants to be my friends. We also share material exchanges I buy things for them like cream ,perfume and facial wash but I do not expect anything back from them. Me and my sister share the same beliefs but not the same thoughts. Because we have different meanings about different things. What do I give to my family well I help my mother around the house after nagging bout that I help my sister with school work and I help my brother with his homework and then I help my father to fix things around the house I am basically his handy women.
My friends provides social capital and economic capital to me. My friends provides social capital to me when they gives me emotional support and provide with a listing ear and a healing medicine to my sorrows. They gives me advice on things I need advice like for instance n how to make food on a better way and faster way. They shape my believes by teaching me more about their believes and why they believe what they believe. And that's how they shape my experience. They provide me also with economic support by buying me things and then they expect the same amount things back from me. For instance if they brought me cooldrink ,hamburger and something sweet. Then the next time I must brought them cooldrink and a sandwich.
My lectures teach me and challenge me to grow in the experience they teach me. They also push me do better in my school work they encourage by given me good marks to my essay that encourage me to do better and teach me if I failed one time I must stand up and not stay there I must grow also in this process.
My boyfriend provides me with economic capital and social capital. My boyfriend gives me emotional support and joy and is the doctor to my sorrows. He offers encourage to me by believing in me if do not believe in myself. He lend me a listing ear if something brother me I can speak to him he won`t share my problems to anybody else. He gives me advice on how to be a better person and how to love and take care of myself. He provide me with economical capital by buying me things every month and expert nothing in turns he also intrude me to his friends and family that's the social capital he gives to me.

When I was little I had no worries besides the fact that I must obey my parents because that was one of the most valuable things for them they wanted me to have a long healthy happy life and all you can get is when you obey your parents according to the bible this will come true if you obey your parents. My mom and dad also taught us you must love all the people like you love yourself and if you don't love yourself how must you accept others to love you? But the big question is how must you love yourself if nobody taught you how ?
you can do that by looking after yourself make goals for yourself like for instance studying hard and believing in yourself no matter what the case is. if you achieved something good like good marks or are the man/woman of the match spoil yourself by watching your favorite movie or TV show or just take 1 break from school and just relax that will motivate you to love yourself even more and do better in the next tests or assignments.
My grandmother taught me you must live as if it is your last day today she heard it from the song " as vandag my laaste dag is" from Juanuta du Plessis. This song helped me realize that you must make the best out of every day no matter how bad your mood is. Always ask yourself what if my life ends today will my destination be heaven or hell?
My father believes if you are the oldest sibling you must be an example for the rest of your siblings you must take responsibility for teaching the values and things that your parents taught you like, for instance, my granny teaches me how to sokkie I taught my brother and sister because that is my responsibility because I am the oldest.
Just make sure you do all the things you do with love and always be kind to one another.
Always ask your self what memory much the people of the world have if they think about me
