Yani was known to teachers as a student who was impulsive and unaware of the consequences of her actions. She was also unable to focus on her work and had a tendency to use inappropriate language and vulgarities.
However, that changed when she joined the EQUAL youth programme. Her love for animals helped her connect with the horses she worked with immediately. Yani was very sensitive towards the horses and was able to identify the personality of the horse through her interactions with them. In the same way, Yani also developed a greater awareness and ability to read the emotions and triggers of her peers.
