PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION
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 of six child, three boys and three girls in which am the last
born. 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 siblings and brothers 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 BALUBA which was my daddy’s 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 Catholic that’s mean in my parents house we were living in Catholicism
rules, that was one of the main value in my childhood, we have done everything that
comes with the catholic values such as being baptize in catholic, 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. 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, 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 6 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 in that time. I was already used to be surround by a lot of people, it was
normal, but I sow 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 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 the SOCCER’s SKILLS, 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 the death of my dad which happened in
24//12/2015, from there my life never be the same as it was, I began to see my life and
the world differently, the wonderful life that I used to leave disappear, so the only thing
that I was concentered on or I’m up to now is to take care of my family, specially my
mom and my sisters, it was and still one of my priority up to now. I believe that there’s
life after death, watching up on me from the even because I believe that, what I have to
do now is to make my daddy 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 friends they helped me to come out of the situation that I was living after
the death of my mal parent, 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 as we always “LIFE GOES ON” 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, 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 because
she’s the one who’s taking care of me, and what I own 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.
