When Barney had finished 12th grade he lived with his father and mother in a homestead on the west side of the main road going through Oshivelo. He thought of becoming a mechanic. Their family had many goats and it was Barney’s task to watch them. One day when he was out grazing the goats he passed the school which is situated two kilometres north of the village. Someone shouted at him from the school:
(In Oshiwambo)
- Hey boy! Have you finished 12th grade?
- Yes.
- Good, we need a substitute for one of our teachers, who are on maternity leave, come here.
So Barney began teaching and when the regular teacher returned from her leave the principle thought Barney was such a good teacher and wanted him to stay. Barney took up distance studies to become a teacher and have now been teaching for 10 years.

Hej Jonatan! kände knappt igen dig. prata med din mamma häromdan och du var lätt att hitta här på nätet. Vilken häftig upplevelse du får vara med om. Kul att se vad som händer med alla. Just nu jobbar jag på H&M, bor i täby, men drömmer om att bli copywriter... Vi får se vad framtiden har med sig. Vore kul att catch up, nån gång. ha det bra, och njut av värmen. Här är det mörkt och kallt...
