My Journey with RLabs

My Journey with RLabs

How i got to find out all about it,since RLabs is more into or about Social Media gosh that is were i got all information about it from a friend...How typical that all get lost when looking for RLabs,the same had to happen to me the very first day when i thought of going to apply,eventually we got the place and got forms that we had to fill in and bring  back the next day.After some days i received a text that i got accepted and my friend didn't which was quite disappointing...

The first day came where we had our first classes,uh-mm everyone was really friendly were we got really energetic and friendly facilitators Rose and Ali (very amazing people),thought that was gonna be the best course all seemed to be perfect,just to find out that the next week we had to change facilitators which i thought was gonna be different i may say was really impressed by RLabs all the  facilitators are  well trained even though we changed six different of them and yet didn't tell the difference since all are good... 

I may say i am really learning a lot from this course( Introduction to Social and Digital Media) so great full that i got chosen its really a great job that RLabs is busy with,it really got a lot of our youth off the streets and all that had no ideas on what to do...

A big shout out to RLabs!!!

RLabs

                                                         The introduction to social media
All thanks to RLabs the youth is having something to do that is worth something at the end of the day.I am very honour to have this greate opportunity to do introduction to social media and digital media.This is not everyday opportunity that the youth gets and I think GOD is opening doors for me slowly but surely and I feel very blessed.The most wonderful part is that this courses are for free,which i think is very good.I also love the fact that we get a tee brake with juice and cookies.
                                                                                                                                                                   
My dream is to help my community to achieve something like this in the future as RLabs inspired me with many things than i was expecting.All thanks to RLab I would want something like to be done in my community as there is nothing that inspires the youth in okahanja park community.I would one day wanna be a facilitator at Rlabs.
                                                             MY LIfe  with RLabs

  When my life was quickly falling out of my hands and reality wasn't within reach, I felt helpless. I needed to find a way out somehow, someone or something to influence me in a better way by helping me out of the major hole I had dug myself into.
It all began when I moved away from my life in Okahandja, and couldn't accept the fact that it was something my parents had to do. I was an emotional mess. I had much anger and no one to vent it on, except my parents, which, most of the time, was pointless. This would just end up being an even bigger mess. So as I began to make friends, I figured why not drown my sorrows in whatever I could possibly find - drugs, alcohol, "fun." I was out on school nights until one or two, planning on not going to school because I thought I had better things to do. As time passed, I began to miss many days of school, causing my grades to fall tremendously. I decided to drop out of the tenth grade. It seemed easier in my eyes, no more waking up at five o'clock - and I could stay out and not feel guilty. I knew somewhat what I was doing; I knew my life was on a downhill slant, and at that time I couldn't do a thing about it.
As my friends from the other side saw what I was doing, they decided to do it too, losing everything they had: respect from everyone, parents, relatives, friends, and teachers. So we went on a fantasy trip, not caring about losing our education or love from people who tried to care. We thought it was great to be on our own until we ran out of money for our adventures.

So, I got a full-time job which didn't last long. I got sick of that too. I couldn't deal with people telling me what I had to do. I rebelled, and got fired. Once again, I didn't care. Then, my friends and I began to get into a lot of mischief, getting in trouble with the police a number of times. Finally, they told me I would be sent to a juvenile institute to get back on track. My friends were in the same predicament. So I went home to try to figure out my mistakes, to try to patch them up. Well, I couldn't - I would just have to move on.
Weeks went by while I stayed home, still out of school. I watched what my friends were getting into, and I couldn't understand why they couldn't see what was happening to them. They were falling apart, just like I was. At that point, I wanted nothing to do with anyone. I needed time to myself, and I wanted my life back to normal.
The second semester of my tenth grade year, I put myself back into school and got a part-time job. I began to do well, still a little on the edge, but I knew it wouldn't be perfect in a day. It took me awhile to get back in the swing of things and live a normal high school life. I give myself credit for doing it on my own. I turned myself around because I knew my lifestyle was wrong and what I was doing was dangerous. I needed time to find myself more than anything so I was introduced to RLabs at NBII and it change me positively I had learned so much so far and my dream was always to become a fashion blogger I also met amaizing souls and had made new friends, and here I am now, a senior, awaiting graduation for RLabs. -

Journey to Rlabs


Journey to Rlabs , it was on the 7 April 2017 .

Classes Routine

 I am always excited to come to class just to know what the next topic would be about because ever since lessons started we have different topics to discuss about.

As we enter class we have a check-in which is always amazing like today our topic for the check -in was who inspires you and why and it was fun listenning to everyone made me realize that we do value people 

I love my classmates because they all have their defects and perfections which allows us to engage and allows us to learn from the different cultures and origins we have, classes a different each day that is what makes RLabs cool

Are not like other institutions we have a 15 minute tea break which is cool and its fun because they care for us.

Rlabs grooming future masters

As any other good thing that comes out of life, success requires sacrifices, commitment, and hard work all of which are the requirements when enrolling at Rlabs training programs. I have come to know a lot since being here at Rlabs, its as the slogan says a true social revolution it is indeed.

Our classes mostly consist of practical training and trainees are involved in the activities, discussions and work done within the classes. No one is left out and everyone enjoys their training. I especially love my classes, although sometimes I think I talk too much, but that's just my point, no one really cares whether you are blue,green, short, or tall fast or slow. You are part of a team so what you put in is what you get.

I know one thing though, even years after I'm gone from Rlabs I will still remember the feeling when I came into the yard for classes everything would just be okay. I would literally cry my eyes out because I'm unhappy but when as soon as I got here and left after classes I would have a renewed sense of strength to proceed.

I love my afternoon group, If I had to choose than I would choose this group all over again. This guys makes life seems so much colorful even in the darkest of situations.
