By Aaron

Many of the Namibians that I know spend their leisure time watching television, especialy sopies (Mexican Soap Operas) and comedies (Big Brother Africa) or listening to music such as hip hop, R&B, etc. As the teenagers are getting used to this, they end up copying whatever they are watching on TV. Some of them are being influenced in a positive way, like being aware of new technology or educational programming. Most of the teenagers are also being influenced in a negative way. The clothing style is changing, and they are comparing themselves with the celebrities. Because the closing is very expensive, some end up stealing money or dealing drugs to buy on-fashion clothing.

I wish to become a lab technician and work at our nearest hospital in order to make enough money for me and my family. When I complete grade 12 I want to find myself at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa. I will be studying there until the 4th year then I will come back in Namibia for my practicals. I want to work in my own country because there are many job opportunities but less skilled workers.
