My Agenda in Zimbabwe’s Youth Agenda

He is 32 years of age, 6 feet in height, chocolate complexioned and a native of Zimbabwe. His name is Francis Rwodzi. Growing up in Zimbabwe, he was subjected back then to the same negative stereotypes that prevail in the community that he works in today. These stereotypes often categorizes youth as up to no good and inherently lazy.   His youthfulness and inexperiences often meant that his opinion was discounted and deemed irrelevant in important public matters. Neither he nor his colleagues were ever consulted on serious issues, even when they had something to say.  However, he was lucky to have been provided with support and guidance from his family who instilled a hard work ethic and a belief in him. With this guidance, he was able to navigate his way through the difficult phases of growing up and he succeeded in graduating as a Journalist and eventually working with the media sector for a period of 5 years. He deemed this as the most opportune space for him at that time

I Miss You

A lot has changed since you have been gone, I did a lot of good and I also did a lot of wrong. I made a whole lot of change and I got changed a lot by the people I worked for and the places I worked in. Sometimes I feel weak; most times I stood up strong. Ever since you went away, it's been hard for me . I d idn't know 'til you died, how much you meant to me, all the time and the patience you put into me.   You showed me how to be the person that I was meant to be, taught me how to work and about dedication and to this day, I remember what you were telling me; you told me, "if you want to make your mark, you have to make the people who you work for make their mark that's why I stay up most nights working – I have traveled a lot, met great people and experienced a lot but if it would bring you back , I would trade all that. I want to thank you for everything that you did for me. I'm on my knees praying to God that you hearing me. I know you watch me u
