Introduction
In this work I will discuss on my personal experience as a child, young adolescent, and
adult as I am now. I would like to discuss on the values which have more influence on
the periods mentioned above and their contributions on my life until these days, those
are the point that am going to be focus on for my personal experience.
Born in a Christian family as unique child, grown up in my uncle house which has 12
children. A family located in south of DRC (CONGO) in Lubumbashi, which is my
township, the value of being Christian was given by my parents because both they were
Christian in that time that’s mean automatically I, my cousins we became Christian. In
my country there is many ethnizes and tributes, so as it is in my country when the
parents give birth, the child belong to the tributes of a mal parent, so we belong to one
of the tributes located in Congo called BA KASAI which was my both parents tributes,
ethnize and tributes concerned the cultural part which had some values that we used to
consider, such social values , social values were related to the cultural part what I
mean is for example in my culture we don’t greet adults people with the left hand, on the
table we don’t take food before the adults, so that was the values of my culture that we
use to consider, there are many but that was some of them. As I mentioned above, we
were Christian Protestant that’s mean in my parents house we were living in Protestant
rules, that was one of the main value in my childhood, we have done everything that
comes with the protestant values such as being baptize in river by protestant church,
Whoever would come in the house should follow the house’s rules. That factor had a big
impact in our environment, because we used to consider our religious part more than
the cultural part which is the opposite in other family ( mostly here South Africa ). I did
my grade R before getting into my primary school I was 5 years old, that part of my life
plays a biggest role in my life, because It was the first time that I went out and face the
world and learned the colonial language which is French, it was not easy but after a
moment I was used to it, I met new friends, I got some kid’s value that I did not have
such as living in the imagination world which is the value of most kids, that was one of
the great moments in my life.
I was 7 years old when I went to primary school, according to my personal view I may
say that everything began there because I was a bit conscient about everything that
was happening back then. I was already used to be surround by a lot of people, it was
normal, but I saw myself as big boy, because the life that I was living during my grade R
was different to the one that I started. That part of my life had a big impact upon into
me, a big one yes, it when my character changed, the way I was seeing the world
around me was not the same, I got bigger influence from my friends and from
everything that was happening at school, in my case is the part of my life where I
learned most of the thing that am even carrying up to now, it where I learned how to
leave in community because I was spending a lot of my time at school. The primary
school time contributed a lot to the education that I received from my parents, it was a
great environment, is the place where I learned to communicate with people that was
around me specially my parents. In this period what I consider as the most important
thing is the fact that I have discovered my talent which was to play soccer, I used to play
soccer a lot, I was in my school’s soccer team, I played for my school in term of
competition with other schools, my parent were not against that they were even
encouraging me. Because of that I met another type world which is the competitive
world, it adds a lot of values in my life.
Teenager, one of the periods that makes fear, specially to the parents, because is the
period where most of the young teenager go through a lot of trouble, specially for girls.
In my case this period changed a lot of things in my life, it in that period where I
discovered Men’s values. Talking about men’s values, it’s about some responsibility on
myself and some responsibility that I have received from my parent, and it also about
selfcare. Talking about media, yes, the media influenced me a lot according to what I
have seen and eared, what you see on the tv, or computer can easily influence your
character, about me, because of the media I learned lot of good and bad thing, about
good thing for example I learned a lot about the exterior word, I discovered some places
without even going there, I learned about others cultures, in shortcut I learned how life
operate outside there, going to the bad side the media gave me a bad influences
because I wanted to leave according to the word not according to me and my values
which is a bad thing.
As an in adult who I’m today, the world has been playing a great impact on my life, I can
even say it still impacting my life until now. Am fully conscient about what is happing
now in my life, my life has been affected by divorce of my parent which happened in
2011, from there my life had a bit of change and I sticked to my mom side, I began to
see my life and the world differently, the wonderful life that I used to leave wasn’t the
same since dad as in all family in my country is a provider of everything, so the only
thing that I was concentered on or I’m up to now is to take care of my family, especially
my mom, it was and still one of my priority up to now, I’m convinced that I owe her a lot.
I believe that there’s life after death as Christian, there is a GOD watching up on us from
the Heaven because I believe that, what I have to do now is to make my mom proud of
me by finishing with my studies, and by starting with my professional life so that I can
take care of my family more better than before, those are my principal goals. The world
gave me so much support about my situation, specially my uncles they helped me to
come out of the situation that I was living after the divorce of my parents, It was so
stressful but I made it, I didn’t forget it but now am better than before, hardly but I’m
trying to leave with it in my mind because I don’t have any choice there we are now
days my mom (She is advising me to get marry too), so now am doing my best as much
as I can to finish my studies and jump to the next step of my life. Am not really an
influenceable person, the world had an impact up on my life on my teenager years as I
mentioned above, right now on my adult life, I’m not so impressed by the things and
people that surround me, so yes in nowadays we are living according to certain rules of
the world but without forgetting where we came from, and what are the values of the
place where we came from. Am receiving all my family support mostly from mom, which
is enough for me, I don’t have everything that I want but I‘m living with what my mom
can provide for me and myself because she’s the one who’s taking care of me, and
what I owe to her it just my comprehension. Life is not perfect but whatever I’m going to
get from her I will accept it with all my heart. In this story what I miss it just my dad
affection, my daddy support, but as I said above, I’m trying to leave with the fact that he
is absent and do thing on my own.
Conclusion
In this work, I explain in shortcut my life, from my childhood, my growth, until this
adulthood while basing myself on the values and principles of the world around me.
