Hello, my name is Filip Božinovski, and I am 17 years old. I would like to say that I have completed all the courses from the HP Life project, and I can honestly say that I am quite satisfied. I learned about the HP Life courses through my high school, High School "Josip Broz – Tito" in Bitola.
Through these courses, I have gained a lot of useful and valuable skills that I see myself using in the future. My goal is to continue my studies at a university that focuses on teaching skills related to technology and how it helps humanity. The courses are easy, short, completely online, and most importantly, free. I would personally recommend these courses to all my friends and acquaintances as a starting point for gaining useful computer skills that can benefit everyone, especially young people who are interested in starting their own business or enhancing their computer skills.
At the moment, I have completed my last course, and my favorite courses include those on communication and the winning mindset. I would like to thank YMCA and HP for providing the opportunity to quickly learn useful skills.
The Eco Camp directly involved us in the organization of our open day, where various games were played and many useful facts about bicycles and cyclists were learned, as well as about protecting our environment through the use of bicycles. For several days, we learned through games, and on the last day, we shared this knowledge with children and adult citizens who visited us at the city park. The event turned into a beautiful scene of “BitolaNaTocak,” where we completed a big circle around our city with bicycles, accompanied by all the bicycle enthusiasts.
During my studies, I had the opportunity to become part of YMCA as an intern. I would like to share that during my internship at the organization, I gained skills and knowledge that greatly contributed to me both as a student and in my professional development. Additionally, I would like to highlight my positive experience working with my mentor, as their support and collaboration significantly contributed to the successful completion of my tasks.
When I heard about this training, the first thing I did was sign up without thinking, and I couldn't wait to start the sessions. This training was something new and a step ahead of just talking everywhere about how important mental health is. The first training that works with young people teaches them how important mental health is and encourages them to pass it on to their peers, gradually working to break down stereotypes, focus on personal growth, and build self-confidence, healthy relationships, etc. For me, this workshop was very interesting because at every session, there was a different atmosphere—positive, fun, yet calm at the same time. We often gathered in a circle and shared various experiences, where we felt heard and accepted as we were. In the few months that the workshop was still ongoing, I slowly changed some of my thoughts and attitudes, and realized many things about myself and how to keep my mental health in shape. I gained good socialization, made many acquaintances, and got rid of the fear of public speaking.
