A Month-long Blog Writing Training: A Reflection




A month ago, when my brother Abdifitah Farah sent me a Blog Writing and Storytelling Training advert on the Somali Public Agenda Facebook Page, I immediately applied and recommended it to other friends. After filling out the application and going through a rigorous selection process, I was fortunate to be among the selected applicants for the training. Conversely, together with a group of talented youth, full of passion and determination to skill up, we commenced the training in late August.



The training lasted four weeks, and we took four modules dealing with different topics of blogging skills. Each week, we attended the class on Saturday and Thursday. Saturday was a lesson day followed by assignments. Likewise, Thursday was a reflection day where our instructors invited some renowned bloggers to share insights and blogging experiences e of blogging.


 

Before the beginning of the training, I wanted to develop my writing skills fastly and I am enjoying my efforts now. Many thanks to the SPA. On the other hand, I also connected with like-minded people in the training who are very determined to succeed.

Finally, I am grateful to the SPA team for giving their utmost efforts to enhance our writing skills. Though I have concluded this eye-opening blogging training, from now on as my mentors recommended, I am committed to being a regular blogger and to keep pursuing it. I will try my best to publish one blog post at least every month.

2023 REVIEW.

  I find myself thinking back on my experiences and the lessons I've learned as the year comes to an end. This year has been an up-and-down roller coaster, but those difficulties have also brought me insightful experiences that have advanced my personal development. By sharing these five important things I've learned, I hope to inspire and connect with you through this blog post. 1.     Maintain a Daily Diary: Writing down my days in a journal was one of the habits that improved my life the most this year. By setting aside time every night to ponder about my prior experiences, feelings, and ideas, I was able to gain a deeper comprehension of who I am. 2.     Being too serious might be bad for your mental health. I've discovered that living in a society where expectations and pressure are always there might be bad for our mental health.
