Phalana

My autobiography

My name is Phalana. In July 2005 my parents moved from Botswana to Namibia because my mother had the opportunity to have a job that was based in Namibia. On February 19th 07:45 of 2010 I was born in Medi-Clinic Windhoek, Namibia. Both of my parents are from Botswana but I was born in Namibia, which makes me both Namibian and Motswana.


For a few years my cousin stayed with us and took care of me when my parents were traveling. We would go shopping and we would go to the zoo together, she was like my sister.


When I was six years old, my brother was born. When I first met him I was obsessed! He was so little yet so precious, adorable and gentle and he is MY brother.


Right now I am 10 years old and I attend Windhoek International School. I love to dance at NWDT with my friends, playing netball and spending time with my friends and family.
