My experience was amazing and it was all because I had the most amazing people taking care of me in Nairobi. I appreciate everyone who made me feel so welcome and special. I hope to visit soon. THANK YOU :) :) Sending Hugs and Love.
I had the most amazing experience in Nairobi and wish I could return. I enjoyed my time there. Super happy I got to meet my new friends and catch up with old friends. I got in some networking too. It is the best place to reset and hope I return soon.
Travel is really exciting and addictive. I really enjoyed my first experience on a plane. Thank you to Harun for making it so simple for me. I wish I stayed longer in Nairobi but there is always next time. To more adventures and trips for the new year. In the sky is where I am meant to be and I could not be happier when I am there.
Bad things can happen. It is how you face them that shows who you are. I am definitely a fighter because despite how things went I knew what I wanted and I was willing to fight for it. You can do a lot with any amount received as long as you know how to use it. " Things turn out best for the people who make the best out of the way things turn out" - Art Linkletter
Being excited is one of those strong emotions we all feel at one stage in our lives. It is my favorite emotion because my eyes light up and my smile has my teeth showing. It is also a very strong emotion. Do not be afraid to express your excitement in the way that makes you feel most comfortable. I am not very showy about my positions, but I celebrate and am excited in different ways. Embrace your emotions and celebrate them. Do not dismiss them because of what others may think.
It is a funny thing because it can bring out the best in some people depending on how you choose to view it. I think the trick is to take it and see what you can learn from it. Use its power to your advantage. It’s the smallest nudge in the right direction. Diamonds are made under tremendous pressure choose your tremendous pressure. Then overcome it and conquer it. Also, remember that when you want something look at the whole picture, not just the results or the moment of success. Understand that it is a journey and they are not easy at all but very doable.
Graduation is definitely the best time of the year for every student. Since it is very close to exams for university and matric students, I think it is the right time to wish everyone well for exams. Believe in yourself and have faith. It feels terrible now but there is light at the end of the tunnel. You can do it !!! Do not lose heart just work hard.
The end of an unforgettable journey has come. I loved being a Google Student Developer Lead for the University of the Western Cape. Unforgettable journeys are the hardest goodbyes. It was so hard to say goodbye because this one is a huge part of who I am. It was never easy but the challenges made it more enjoyable. I have a new family and I can’t wait to share my life with them every step of the way. Whenever goodbyes are hard seek this quote by Dr. Seuss "Don’t be sad that it’s over, be glad because it happened".

To all the women out there Happy Women's Day. I think that women resemble strength, kindness, and ambition. They really do a lot and are masters of multitasking. They are powerhouses and definitely are empowering figures in my life.
Feedback is important for growth, however good feedback is a chance for improvement. Always aim to give good feedback to others and listen for it as well. Remember to prioritise receiving good feedback. Being aware of what is good for you is being mindful of your needs. When something sounds like bad feedback remember you do not have to listen to it.
Everyone experiences this and it is not limited to anyone or a specific industry. It is truly a mixture of not knowing, failure mindset, anxiety, comparison, and strategy. It is the feeling of not being good enough irrespective of what you have achieved or accomplished. Comparison of yourself to others fuels this feeling of feeling not good enough. It dampens your confidence. Practice subconsciously controlling your thoughts and place your energy into aspects like why you love your job or any hobbies you might enjoy.
Creators really put a lot of effort into their work. They deal with a lot of hate sometimes and it's important to remember that aspect. Appreciation really goes a long way. Kindness can mean the world to someone. Show your favorite creators some love this month. Wish them well and tell them what you love. It’s the thought that counts.
Everyone feels envy or jealousy at some point in their life whether it's early in life or later. Remember that the emotion pushes you away from those you love and it is important to identify when you may be experiencing that emotion. Being aware of how this emotion affects you and those around you strengthens the self-control you have over your emotions. Also, address why and how can you stop feeling that way to keep those who you love around you. This is one emotion you need to control to protect you from losing people in your life. Start managing it before it gets out of control and if you need time away make sure you take a break.
