EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR REASON

Image
  Growing up I have always wanted to be a Psychologist because I found joy in listening to people and advising them.   So when I finished high school, I could not enroll to university because of financial constraints so I decided to take a gap year. I was only 17 at the time, so I decided to write in a local newspaper showcasing my potential and requesting people to contact me when they need advice, but my age was not disclosed. I did not think my advertisement would attract any attention, but so many people reached out. I can confidently say I saved some marriages hahaha! So the year went by and I continued advising people, and it continued for two years which was not the plan but it had to because I still could not enroll due to finances. The third year came and I was going to do Psychology but I got demotivated by the market industry in Namibia and decided to apply for Accounting. Things did not work out and I missed the opportunity to enroll for accounting because I was no...

Web 2.0 Tools: Tools that one can use to receive information.   1. The extent that patterns of Web 2.0 technologies can be used in your field of study(English and Applied Linguistics) and aligning with what it means to be a so called digital native.   A digital native is a person who lives a life immersed in digital technologies allows them to learn differently from previous generations of people according to, Prensky(2001) Considering my field of study, it aligns with being a digital native because I am exposed to using different tools which have introduced me to a variety of different technology platforms that are also linked to my profession as being an English lecturer.

I AM A PLUVIOPHILE

Image
Pluviophile : A lover of rain; someone who finds joy and peace of mind during rainy days. Rain influence their mood Pluviophiles’ feelings are nostalgic and the only thing that lightens their mood instantly is rain! They love to sit in silence beside the window to listen to the beating of rain droplets for hours at a time. Their imagination has the most powerful fantasies and dreams. They are embedded in the power of rain and have good confidence levels. The only thing their brains keep singing is an I LOVE THE RAIN song, again and again! Rain lovers are mostly introverts   Do you know that earthworms only come outside when it rains? The same thing happens with rain lovers. They only step out of their comfort zones when it rains. They keep themselves in a relaxed mood and enjoy the company around them silently.  But when it rains, they grab their favorite drink and sit on the top of the roof to explore the wonders of rain. Rain lovers usually like to spend time alon...

  Fatherless daughter syndrome is a disorder of the emotional system that leads to repeated dysfunctional relationship decisions, especially in the areas of trust and self-worth. It is caused by the lack of a father/daughter bond, which leads to the daughter not having a clear understanding of what a healthy, loving male/female relationship looks like. It can be a lifelong syndrome if the symptoms go unrecognized and unacknowledged. The first relationship a little should have with a man is the one she has with her father. This relationship gives life to what that little girl, who will eventually become a woman, will believe she deserves in her relationship with men.
