MY EXPECTATION FOR DAYS

 WHAT MAKE'S ME GOING EVERYDAY



I'm very proud of myself because i never had what i have now and im am looking forward towards what i have now because they say start of what you have now so i have gained various of knowledge and subjects and im very thankful towards the "STAFF" who have gained me that knowledge"

Now i can go out there and do things on my own i never had the ability's too do things on my own i always thouted that i can't do it or im going to lose or fail and that breaks me down for not doing it but now i can go up too you and speak and approach you in a better,good way and im very proud of myself.    


There's a first time for everything

Hi guy's , This is my first time i'm blogging and i find it amazing .I'm a 18 year old teenager with a son . Before i became a zafe at the Youth Cafe Vangate , I was just a teenager at home no schooling no occupation i always doubt myself saying things like i'd never be able to become who i want to be in life because i dropped out of school in the middle of my grade 10 and i always thought that i wont be able to achieve my goals , dreams and my hearts desires , but then i found out about the youth cafe vangate and i felt overwhelmed it was like a dream come true , and chance for me to achieve my goals and visions , I am truly honored to be apart of the youth cafe , and its the best place for a person to find themselves :).




My Growth As To Who I Was Before To Where I Am Today

Let Me Tell Who I Was Before. 

Before I knew about Rlabs, I was quiet teenager, looking to try out new things didn't know what to expect from when trying it out. 
Me As A Teenager Trying Out New Stuff
As I got older new things got exposed to me and I thought it was cool. I got friends that were bad influence in my life. Family members that always put me down. life was not a easy ride for me I wont lie but I looked past those things and became a better person in life.
Me Meeting My Bad Influenced Friends
Family Members That Still Putting Me Down 











Who I Am Today As A Person Now That I Found About Rlabs.



The day I found out about Rlabs I thought I was gonna waste my time there, but as I came to know about Rlabs my life changed for the better. I realized that life is not all about partying, friends and having a good time. 

I dropped all my friends and only got 3 friends now. I stop drinking and partying with my friends. 

I'm learning new things that I never thought I would need in the future. 

So I'm Ending This Off With A Quote:








How far i have come and grown

I have grown i have conqerd day by day
Where at times life had now meaning
But there is light at the end with the grace
Of good people put in our lifes .

Where learning is the key to succeed
With pacients and kindnes ,it maybe
hard at times the aim is to never give up

BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE

My Life 2016


My Life 2016


Hi everyone.
I am 17 year old teenager and is interesting in changing peoples lives, their mindsets and letting them reach out for their goals. I'm attending the Youth Cafe in Vangate and acquiring myself with knowledge and skills so that i can better myself to communicate with others and give back to the community.


Youth Cafe Vangate is an awesome place to be because we are all like a family and look up to each other.The organisation has changed my life because the person whom i was before the Youth Cafe i never liked ,the person i am now # i Love him so much.The facilitators at the Cafe are very caring and very motivated to motivate.

My biggest ambition in life is to become an successful entrepreneur and have a great family.
I want to leave a legacy behind me so that people would know me as the one who have changed his life for the better and through all the negative things he managed to still always be positive.



Theres a saying that runs :
# I know this world is so cold and Deceiving ,But i keep my head up like my nose is bleeding.
I stick to that quote because I am ,and will become the successful entrepreneur.

my growth

I was the kind of person that never wanted to admit that i am less that perfect.
I never had faith in myself , always made bad choices.
I never wanted to listen to my aunt because i was stubborn and always wanted things to go my way.

I am 18 years old now and i made a choice in my life, my choice is to actually be the person i want to be.
I am the kind of of person anyone can rely on and i excel under pressure
I don;t want to give up when i still have something to give, nothing is really over until the moment i stop trying.
I am proud to say that i am not afraid to encounter risks, it is that fragile that binds me together.
I have have faith in myself and i believe that almighty changes people and changes things.
I am preparing me for opportunity to make a success of myself.
I pray for those who don;t belief but i thank you that i believe.
Because of the youth cafe i,ve found my purpose, it helps provide a place for me to grow and be the best i can be.
The youth cafe has become my second home and we are all a family.

Who i was

In the past i was i very bad person with absolute no respect for anybody.I was involve with  all the wrong things and surrounded with the wrong crowds.At home none of the people liked me because i had no respect.I was a school drop out,because i failed and didn't want to go further school anymore.When i dropped out of school i started standing every morning on each and every corner.I was always aggressive,if someone interfere with me then i start swearing them out or throw them with bricks.

I gambled each and everyday just to make money to smoke marijuana.I always wanted to take leadership in my crowd that surrounded me.

Looking Back At The Past

                                                              CHANGE


WHAT IS CHANGE?...Change is the development physically,mentally and emotionally.It impacts our life in different aspects on how we use to be and how we transformed into the person we are today. I've undergone a change in my life and I have the Youth Cafe to thank for it.

I've done a lot of things in past that I'm not proud of and the only person I can blame for that is myself.I come from a family of four,my mom,dad,my sister and I.My dad is the only one that works in the house so most of the time it would be a struggle but we get by through the day. I've always thought that my dad would've liked to have a son because he doesn't interact with us as much as we want him to.He was never there when we would have family functions.When he'd come home from work he would just drop his bag,take a bath and leave again to hang out with  his friends.He is a drug
addict so whenever he needs to buy his things and he didn't have the money for it he would steal of our household things and sell it to someone else just so that he can buy his necessities.

I feel that,that is what impacted my life so strongly,that motivated me to do the wrong things.My first day on high school I immediately interacted with the wrong crowd.I use to party every weekend,drink occasionally,smoke cigarettes among other things and I just felt my life going in the wrong direction.I never trusted anyone,never got personal with anyone.I would always hide my real life away from everyone.My consolation was being on my own listening to music and drawing.As the years went on I came to realize that this isn't the life I wanted for myself.I wanted to make a success of myself,wanted to dream big and make a reality of that dream and the Youth Cafe helped me with that in a lot of aspects.
DRAW TO CONSOLE















HELPS CALM MY EMOTIONS

MOVING FORWARD
SHAPE YOUR OWN FUTURE

if I can do it so can you

I used to be a very shy girl ,never wanted to do everything for myself always letting people help me with work and always on my phone , The day i failed grade 9 was so heartbreaking that I decided that enough is enough that why I decided that I really need to get up and work for what i want in life .my mother and father  went different ways my mother raised us on her own  , she was always there for me .i went to a new school to help better my self and end up passing grade 9,10 and 11 and at the moment I'm busy   finish  my metric at C.M.E and doing class at the youth cafe and it's helping me a lot the cafe and it is so much fun and  exciting and awesome cant wait for the next session  .when I'm at the cafe it a total new environment      

The Path I Chose

Contrary to popular belief not everyone goes through or overcomes the same tests and choices in our lives. Not everyone thinks the same or re-acts the same so EVERYBODY is different in some way and this post right here is the journey i took in pursuit of a different and fulfilling life.

Looking back at where ive been i can truthfully say my journey was hard but not impossible.
I come from a large family so growing up my father being a family orientated guy i followed in that path. Family is more important to me than any amount of money or other worldly and corrupted distraction. It literally runs in my veins to be the responsible one and the one to take charge because of many elements and tribulations that had tested me in the past.

One of the most influential incidents that changed  my perceptive of life is finding out that my mother and father were not meant for each other and there paths and time together were limited and they separated. This happened round about the time i was 12 years old, and having a younger brother and sister around looking up to me i had to step up my game and be the responsible one but being the oldest son in our family the title of "boeta" was always set out for me and i had no choice but to accept the responsibilities.

I now have 4 sisters and a younger brother to look after but coming to terms with who i am and my responsibilities as the oldest boy has made me a better person. In my religion we call that person who takes charge in his family The Wakeel which practically means Man of the House and 
i have accepted this responsibility to the fullest.


My life's story



My life has been an epic one full of trials and tribulations that sometimes brought me down to a point of no return or so i thought.My journey through a  hellish cycle made me appreciate everything good or bad,because without either of the other neither can be appreciated.



My father was murdered and it shook me like an earthquake in a flood,i thought that nothing seemed to be of purpose and that whatever effort i made would just get fluffed of like cannon fodder.I was as negative as can be and my motivation did not seem to exist,The year my father was murdered i failed grade 9 and that took what little motivation i had,if any.
i finally completed grade 9 and moved on to grade 10,but something still did not sit well with me in terms of my life and who i wanted to be...i could not figure out what was eating at me from the inside.My fathers death may have played a role in my lack of confidence but there was something more to it than that,there was a serious urge in me to desperately find out who and what i wanted to be,what makes me happy,what makes me tick.It was a year journey of misconception and lack of communication between me and my family and at the beginning of grade 10 i dropped out,not knowing what i was doing but just feeling it was right and so the year went on i was out of control.
Then one day i came to a conclusion what really makes me happy,that which makes me tick that makes me who i am,it was my love for the ocean,i thought about it over and over and i still came to the conclusion that the ocean drove me as an individual,my love for the ocean and wanting to be by it pulled me out of a situation that already buried me so deep,but then i thought what of my schooling.However that was not a problem as my drive was there,and my determination to become a marine biologist managed to get me to matric and i succeeded.Today i sit at the youth cafe,not yet a marine biologist but in hopes of still becoming one,the youth cafe keeps me concentrated and motivated,i am here to improve myself and i am willing to take on whatever challenges awaits for me in order to achieve my dream that saved me.



The conclusion to my story is to never forget who you are and what your passion is,the love for what you really love can save your life without anyones help,it worked for me because it gave me drive and determination to get through the toughest part of my life so far and i am confident it will help me to persevere in life.

Where I was in my past and how I am improving my life for the future.

Growing up for me wasn't really easy. I stayed in Retreat with my mothers mother and I went school I went to school in retreat. Once my grandma died my world ended and I didnt really know what to do. I know came to stay with my other grandma hoping things would get better for me but it didn't.

When starting with high school I though I needed to fit in with the cool kids on the school, do all the wrong things because I thought what I was doing is right. Look where it got me. I dropped out of school cause I thought I was the cool kid. Look where my friends are today, all in matric finishing school and me dropped out and a nothing.

But since I came to the Youth Cafe my life changed drastically. It opened my mind. They are helping me to find my self and wanting to help for fill my dream to become a software developer.
I know I can do it and I know the Youth Cafe is supporting me every step of the way.

HEY , first experiance at Youth Cafe' was fun , stepped in an felt welcome immediately . I enjoy spending every moment @youth cafe' ,wouldn't miss it for the world the session's are amazing at all times and always having fun . Loving the environment , and always having awesome laughs . First experiance at the youth cafe' was SUPER GREAT !!!

My journey at Youth Cafe

My life at Youth Cafe is fun and exciting .I started at Youth Cafe like Three weeks ago .My first day at the Youth Cafe was the best because I did not know anyone at the Cafe but then I got to know the other members of the Youth Cafe .The vibe that you experience in the morning when you walk pass the door is like your second house because everyone at the Youth Cafe is like a family.
What I also like of the Youth Cafe is the way it looks from the inside because it is decorated with colorful walls and paintings that will attract anyone as they pass the door.The way they let it looks on the inside you will feel like you will never want to get out of the Youth Cafe .

There is lots of things that a young person would like at the Youth Cafe because at the Youth Cafe they will learn you how to earn as a  young person .When we go to lessons at the Cafe we earn points [Zlato] so that we can buy us our needs and wants.What I like is the Digital Session that is my favorite because when I came at the Youth Cafe I did not know how to use a Laptop but now I can at least log in on Blogger and text my journey at Youth Cafe on the Internet .Youth Cafe is really the place to be for any Youth so they can understand where they  came from and that there is still hope at Youth Cafe with the dreams you have because no dream is to big.

When I leave the Youth Cafe I want to help other Youth who is struggling in my community and other areas with poverty and other issues they  fight with in there every day lives with the skill that I developed at the Youth Cafe.










My favorite session at the youth cafe

Team building

Ever since i started attending the youth cafe,i found out that when ever i start with the team building session i enjoy myself.

The reason why i enjoy myself is because we are divided into groups and work as one team.We work as one team and communicate very well with each other.We have to work together to make a success,like in building something like a bridge,or something like creating something new totally out of this world,like an android app.

I enjoy myself with the team building session because i developed i few skills that i did not even know i had.

Thee Youth Cafe

My name is Aqeel Jansen aged at 17 years old.On the 24th of February I started to join the Youth cafe,although it was my first day at the cafe,they welcomed me with open arms.Before I was at the youth cafe i was still at school,but since I've failed for my first time in grade 11,i felt useless.I made sure everyday that i should come late at school so that i can go again home.  

I started my first class on Wednesday at 10:30,at first i was nervous and shy because it was all new faces that i saw but later on in the day met everyone properly.The tutors at the cafe are very friendly,and the vibe at the cafe is very excellent because everybody communicates very well with each other.I met a lot of new friends and people that come from a variety of places.

What i expect from the youth cafe is to become a successful entrepreneur and build up my leadership skills so that i can set an example to other young youths in all community's.The reason why i started attending the youth cafe is because i have set a few goals that i want to achieve,and i did not want to attend school anymore.The reason why i didn't want to attend school anymore because at school every week i got suspended,and my parents had to be at school.

I left school to make a change in life and achieve my goals that i have set.I want to have an excellent future ahead of myself.


My life at the Youth Cafe

Hi my name is Ashton Van Der Vent.When my school send me to the youth cafe,I was like No why much i go there....The  next day i went to the cafe and it was one of the best day of my school life i had so much fun and i learn so much things.One thing that i never liked is to talk when am with a lot people but when i start at the youth cafe i starter talking to a lot of people everyday.And one thing the youth cafe learned  me is to not give up on goals.And today im a week at the youth cafe and im very happy at the cafe.

YOUTH CAFE

Ever since i joined the youth cafe I feel very excited to wake up every morning to come to the cafe.

The people at the youth cafe is very friendly.The vibe at the cafe is very happy and exciting you look forward to go to the sessions because you do fun things in the sessions such as your five year plan.You also earn points as you learn they help you get job opportunities you learn to communicate with people.

As for myself the youth cafe is actually awesome and I'm seeing forward to the rest of the year.

Creative Cafe

All the session we had was amazing but I really ,like really love the creative session. we had loads of sessions to do like road maping ,blogger etc .all the creative session we have  helps us with things we need for the future , like the goals we have to achieve and it helps us with what we need in life. It prepares  us for what life throw at us.And it teach us how to control our lives.

Creating Digital



Two of my most exciting sessions are Creative and Digital.It has taught me how to express my ideas and interpret it in a digitized way.With the Creative session I can design what I am thinking and then lay down my ideas on the internet via Blogging or Facebook.It creates new opportunities to move forward in life and be inspirational towards yourself and others.I have adapted to the concept of using a computer or laptop and became familiar with the technological way of doing things.I progress everyday that I am here(learning how to implement what I'm doing here at home).





                                             




                                             


                                          CREATING DIGITAL :)
                               MY FAVOURITE SESSION

MY FAVOURITE SESSION IS DIGITAL,BECAUSE IT TEACHES ME THINGS ABOUT TECHNOLOGY THAT I NEVER KNEW ABOUT.IT TEACHES ME HOW I CAN USE TECHNOLOGY TO MY ADVANTAGE AND HOW TO USE IT BY CREATING MY OWN THINGS ONLINE.I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY ONLY HOW TO PUT IT ON AND OFF AND HOW TO DOWNLOAD.AT THE YOUTH CAFE I WAS TAUGHT HOW TO CREATE MY OWN POSTS,HOW TO DRAW UP FORMS,GOT A GMAIL ACCOUNT AND LEARNT THE DIFFERENT SYMBOLS OF THE APPS ETC.BEING AT THE YOUTH CAFE HAS BUILT UP MY CONFIDENCE ABOUT USING TECHNOLOGY AND USING IT TO MY SUCCESS.

I WAS ALSO TAUGHT THAT EDUCATION IS KEY TO SUCCESS,BECAUSE IF YOU ARE NOT TAUGHT THINGS  AND LEARN BY IT HOW WILL YOU SUCCEED IN LIFE.I AM STILL LEARNING ABOUT THE DIGITAL WORLD DAY BY DAY.I ALWAYS GET NERVOUS WHENEVER IM INFRONT OF A COMPUTER BECAUSE IM SO AFRAID ILL BREAK IT.

AT HOME I AM COMFORTABLE WITH MY TECHNOLOGY BUT IN CLASS AT THE YOUTH CAFE I AM NERVOUS TO PRESS A BUTTON,BECAUSE IM SO AFRAID ILL MESS UP BIG TIME.THE FACILITATOR IS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND MAKES YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE.AT THE YOUTH CAFE I LEARN NEW THINGS EVERYDAY IN EVERY SESSION.

BEING AT THE YOUTH CAFE HAS BEEN LIFE CHANGING.CANNOT WAIT TO LEARN MORE.

me/zafe@youthcafe

For the past two years @ youthcafe i have had quite the chance to meet new people and had a good learning experience from attending most of the educational sessions that takes place each day iv done three workshops,social innovation,first aid,and leadership,that kinda gave a little knowledge and understanding,@yothcafe the energy is young pure and really cool to be in,the facilitators of the sessions are quite skilled in the fields  they are teaching and thats so cool,the staff members are kind polite well groomed and highly social which is a good thing,so yeh the vibe is real cool @youthcafe and i am dash/zafe its a privilege being part of the familia.
 

My Favorite Session

(My favorite sessions at the Youth Cafe is Job Readiness And Digital.)

Why those to sessions is because the facilitators that facilitate those two sessions are the best.

Job Readiness is facilitated by Edson (One the managers of the Youth Cafe). 

Job Readiness is all about getting us Zafes at the Youth Cafe ready for the work force. Like making a proper CV and getting us ready for being interviewed. But Edson does not just teach us that. He teachers us how to be confidants in our self and how to stay positive no matter what circumstance you in and that why Job Readiness is one of my favorites

Digital is facilitated by Taryn

Digital is all about teaching us Zafes at the Youth Cafe about Google and how to use the Google apps to its fullest functions. I use google alot and there is so much things I did not know about Google and its apps. Thats why Digital is one of my favorite.

Youth cafe experience

My first day at youth cafe i was so excitement  cause what  knew was that it would be  the  last time i mixed myself wrong souls.the time i was at youth cafe I experienced the most family love and as a person who has a bad background.although i had a support at home  that I was given .the youth cafe experience gave that motivation to express myself and how will I succeed in life.

The youth cafe made me see things different things that I thought they where cool to me different now i can make something out of my life changing my mindset,changing my life is difficult.The youth cafe made me realize that when you want something be hungry for success doesn't come as an plate of lunch.
   
My life is changing from darkness to brightness it make me be a better person in life.if wasn't  for the youth cafe i would be out there looking for bad influence that i was mixing myself with those bad influences in life.

my first experience at the youth cafe

when i first came to the youth cafe i had questions on my mind, questions like what kind of place is this?,how will this place benefit me?,and etc,then i entered inside the Youth Cafe with those questions and one of the facilitators in the Youth Cafe came to me.

 He assisted me and told me what the place is about and how would this place help.To me it was like i am entering heaven because all my questions where being answered with out me asking anything,they told me everything that i needed to no,and i became interested, because i was about to learn new things that i was never thought at school.

The facilitators welcomed me and judged me,so that is  why i keep on coming to the Youth Cafe to learn more things and meet new people.so i love the Youth Cafe and everyone that enters it .

favorite session at the youth cafe

my favorite sessions at the youth cafe....                                                                                                                                     I love the leadership and entrepreneur sessions the most.I see myself as a leader and very much business minded.                                                                                                                                                                                    I mostly enjoy the entrepreneur sessions.It helps grow my mind, filling my head with new ways to become a successful business woman.In these sessions, I have learnt how to be creative and be  open to new and  different ideas. Personally, the most important thing I have learnt or phrase that I intend to implement in my life, is not to work harder,but to work smarter.

The leadership sessions I have to enjoy. It teaches me how to be self-empowered,self-motivated,to have no limits,to reach to for my  goals and for what I want to change in my life, to have a better future.                                          
                                       
I enjoy each session.I learn,I laugh and through every session,I learn a lesson and I am getting closer to my brighter future.                                                                                                         
xoxo ChArRa


MY FAVORITE SESSION

My favorite sessions at the cafe are DIGITAL LEADERSHIP COMMUNICATION.

DIGITAL is were I'm working on the laptops and how to create your own websites and create your own accounts.

LEADERSHIP is how the facilitators prepare you for the outside world and on how to be prepared for interviews

COMMUNICATION IS WERE YOU MUST COMMUNICATE WITH THE FELLOW ZAFES
I PREFER DIGITAL AND COMMUNICATION

The first day I came to the youth cafe.

The first day I came to the youth cafe it was like new to me. I didn't know what to expect because it looked like a place where students and old people hang out or thats what I thought of the place. But coming to the youth cafe I realized that its a place for the youth to learn things they diddn't know like myself for example.

Before I came to the Youth Cafe I was a bad person in my community. I sold drugs for gangsters and had bad friends and I was disrespectful to anyone that wanted to tell me what im doing is wrong and I thought what I was doing was the right way in life.

One day my father came to my grandmas house and told me about RLABS and that I should apply for a course that im good at doing.

The next day I went to RLABS H.Q and spoke to Marlon Parker. He explained to me that I came to late to apply for a course at RLABS but I could attend the Youth Cafe which is something similar to RLABS and that I could learn new things their. He (Marlon Parker) signed me up to the ZLTO system and told me that I should go check the place out. I went to the Youth Cafe for the first time and it looked awesome like a hang out joint but with learning vibe to it.

Im now one of the longest zafes here at the Youth Cafe and its the best choice I could have made in my life.


So I would recommend other youth in the area to come join the Youth Cafe because it changed me alot so it would change the youth alot in a positive way.

Experienced Youth

Since I've been at the the Youth Cafe I've experienced all kinds of things.I'v learned how to interact with people,build up my confidence and became more aware of more surroundings(became more responsible,more respectable,and more attentive).
DIGITAL SESSION

                                        
                        LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST


The activities given at the Youth Cafe brought me out of my bad habits of being on my own and not caring about what goes on in life,being self-centered and lazy.I became familiar with things I didn't know about.Every morning i wake up excited to be here just to learn new things,gain knowledge and meet new people.Everything is just so intriguing.I've always had a negative attitude towards myself but ever since I've been coming here my whole life has changed my self-confidence has been boosted and I now have a POSITIVE attitude towards myself.I can't wait to see wait the rest of the year has in store for me.YEAH ;)


Journey At The Youth Cafe

The first time i came in the cafe, i took a nice picture of it and posted it.
The cafe is the truth, they are inviting people to learn and to strive for success through knowledge.
The cafe is helping the youth to learn how to communicate with one another . 

I am learning how to come out of my comfort zone and they help me to believe in myself.
I felt like i can always end my days with positive thoughts, no matter how hard things may seem, tomorrows a fresh opportunity to make things better. Cafe learned me that i must not believe that almighty will do what i want, it is the believe that almighty will do what he think is right. My journey so far at the Youth Cafe has been good. Everyday Im learning new things and meeting new people whom I've become friends with.Youth Cafe has become family to me cause its different to the environment i have going on at home and the friends I have here as well.

Everyday when i get home from the Youth Cafe I'd always have stories to tell my friends and family.I would tell them about how my day had been and all the activities that took part in our sessions.Learning about new things like Entrepreneurship and leadership Skills these are the kind of things that interest me cause its things i never knew before.I now have somethings to look forward to each and every morning when i wake up and thats walking in the doors at the Youth Cafe where Hope and Opportunities are awaiting for myself and many others.Im looking forward to whats install for the rest of the year here at the Youth Cafe.
