I am Esther Joy Namuyaga in S2 at Bukomero Secondary School and a member of the WSWM club..
From the WSWM club, I have learnt about the different ways of how I can handle my emotional ups and downs. Emotional ups are things that bring new happiness in life and the WSWM has helped me to behave well and not to boast over others when I have an emotional up. I have learnt to deal with emotional downs which are things that I don’t feel comfortable about e.g. when I know that I am HIV positive, I should not kill myself but instead live positively.
I have learnt how to acquire new friends and how to live safely with them. Ever since I joined the WSWM, I have acquired many friends of the opposite sex and I share with them different ideas which I never used to do before.
Lesson 7: “Sexuality and Love” has taught me a lot. Before I joined the WSWM, I had a feeling that if a boy gives you a gift; it means he wants to have sex with you which is not true. I have learnt that before accepting a gift from a boy, you must make an agreement. If the agreement is negative, you refuse the gift but if the agreement is positive, you accept the gift. I have also understood that sexuality means one’s feeling towards the opposite sex.
The WSWM is a wonderful club because through it I have acquired computer skills whereby I can now type my work and search for the information I need which I couldn’t do before I joined the WSWM club.
Lastly, I have learnt about body changes for now I can take care of my body changes like my periods and cutting off the pubic hair around the different parts of my body.
