Values and Life skills are close to my heart for many reasons; however, the most important reason is because I am a living example of positive impact values and life skills can have on everyone, Life Skills and values have changed my life, I was given a big role a very young age. Despite huge family and personal responsibilities, my values and possession of life skills kept me soaring high. I believe the youth must be prepared for opportunities of the 21st century skills. I was thrown into the role of being a Minister while very young, a mother raising young children and just recently finishing my Masters. Although I did well in my academics, I believe what has helped me to succeed so far is the values and life skills instilled.
