When I was creating my past collage I was able to open up and talk about the challenges that I went through in life,and the importance of my values.

How has training helped you or changed your perspective?

That I should not judge people by looking at them and in the same process I also learned how to think out of the box.

Have you been inspired and been an inspiration in your community and those you interact with?

Yes, I am inspired to change the youth in my community. I have inspired a lot of young people in my community who had given up on their lives into substance abuse – now a lot of them are willing to change their doings.

What do you think the role of the youth is in developing the country?

It is very important for youth to get involved in everything that is happening in our country so as to better contribute towards change.

Planning to start a business that will give back to my community.
