When I look back in the years.....



I originally joined world pulse in 2012 while I was still doing my undergrad. I came across my own account that I have no access to anymore... and I wrote something then about my mum, time has gone but I still mean what I wrote. The account is in my name still: Grace Bitomwa. If you are following that one please follow this new account. Grace Bitomwa1. Looking back  I realise that my life has been shaped by so many factors : 



-love: mostly from my parents and siblings 



- pain: common experience with humans, but for me it has been particularly hard to watch my two brothers struggle with sickle disease. And the consequence this has had on all of us as a family. Second thing that causes pain is DR Congo wars and unrest; they are heart breaking .  - faith: I am christian and I was taught from young age to believe, seek God’s will in every situation.



- change: I have lived in DR Congo, Kenya, and Now in U.K. I had to adjust to all these places, languages, cultures and peoples 



- learning: I never stop learning.  - sharing: is what makes society a beautiful concept.  - relationships: dating haha I am not gonna go into details



- internet: so much information what to take in and what not? It’s been a challenge till now.   



what has shaped you? To become who are and made you see things as you do? Or react as you do? What changed you?
