Recently i have had to respond to many questions like;
Why do you do what you do?
How can i get involved in what you do?
Hey!! can i get a condom?
When do i get an amplify T-shirt?
What are the new development about STI's?
Questions, ideas,criticizim,ecouragement etc are what i get almost every day when in school and going about my school work.In Alfrica where people of time passed are not allowed to talk freely about issues that affect their sexuality,it gives me great satisfaction to see that the times have changed and a large number of youths are getting excited talking to their peer about sexually related matters.Since i became an advocate ,I have come to understand that been in school is not only to study our majors (e.g Biology) but also to teach and learn from our peers. Every day, i am been reminded that i need to make a positive impact in the life of every person i come in contact with,sometimes when putting on my 'amplify shirt' , people tend to ask questions and i end up spending alot of time explaining and telling them what am involved in and how important it is to take our sexual issues seriously by been leaders of today and not waiting for tomorrow. After all said and done ,i walk away knowing that out of every 10 persons i speak to atleast 3 are able to change for the better.
At the begining of this new phase ,i was quite shy but now am so proud of my new identity and some even call me EVA (Education as a vaccine) ,AMPLIFY, Red Card, Advocate etc. All of these indicates that after graduation, i will definately be remembered not for cultisim or violence but for been an agent change who did some thing good.
