I am Kabanda Shella, an active member of the WSWM club at Rock High School. The WSWM has helped in in that I had been influenced by my peers who misled me. The encouraged me to go to school dances, be involved into early relationships and I almost went astray. I lacked respect for elders and other people in society. When I heard of the WSWM when it started at Rock High School, I joined it and learnt a lot about friendship and relationship. I decided to leave those bad peers and led my own life. I gained respect for elders and other community leaders. I become a good girl and everybody wondered how I had changed. All this happened because of the WSWM.
In Dec 2010, I was chosen by my school to represent the WSWM club at Gayaza High School at a 5-day national WSWM student peer educators’ workshop.
For the first time, I was at Gayaza High School because of the WSWM which was a great achievement. While at Gayaza High School, I improved my ICT (Information Communication Technology) skills. I opened a personal email address which I had never dreamed of. I met different people from different places and created new friends. For the first time I communicated through Internet as far as USA. I also learnt the steps followed which developing a digital story which I had never dreamt of.
As a result of the national WSWM Student Peer Educator workshop, I became a Student Peer Educator at my school, Rock High School. I can counsel young people who are even older than me for that reason I have gained respect within and outside school. All this has happened just because of the World Starts With Me.
