The Journey Of Samkelisiwe Nzama

I have learned not to let circumstance or people drain me of my confidence and future. I was told to rise above pretty drama and stay in the positive power. I never let people's opinion to define the choice I make in life.

As months went by that lady lost her job where she used to work. What know? What was gone happen from now I on. Well, I had no choice but had to go back to my normal life. The process continued again, and this time it was much easy for me, much easier. I meet some friends at the train station, we would sit with them and talk while we wait for the train life was getting a bit easy at rest. And it was summer already, there was no colder, well….

It came to a point where I stopped using the train, I found transport that would fetch me from the gate to the school gate. I would be very late at school than but wow it came to an end. My life was changing in extraordinary ways. I was definitely in my 'yes' season.

I have learned to understand that patience really helps us understand that when the time is right, everything will fall into place but that does not mean I had to sit and wait for it. I had to push hard to prepare for the right time.

I even had to understand that people would gossip about me, they would talk bad things about me and spread rumours but I had to remain calm and not confront them. But when the dust had settled, they would come to explain.

I lived my life with passion and compassion, I knew that to reach my highest potential I had to fight my deepest fear. I had to feel the fear and do it again. Instead of complaining about my circumstance, I got busy and created new ones.

My mom would tell me that, not everyone would clap for me. She told me to learn to be my own cheerleader. Set goals and work. I knew that the world does not owe me anything. Absolutely nothing.

My aim was to start unknown and finish unforgettable. My prayer has no expiration date. I knew I would get there not immediately but definitely. I did it to be successful not to compete.

I greet the house, my name is Samkelisiwe Nzama. I started my journey with one word 'Hey' and it led me to a storm of no return, rather am still fighting.

I don't even get disappointed anymore I'm just like 'again' ok than. 

Life became much better than the start, or rather allow me to say I was experiencing the touch of nature, I was evolving in counted ways.

I spent more time at the school resident than home. My new roommate was Tsonga, I could barely understand her but I could pick some words there and there. But she was good. Most of the time we spoke English to communicate. And I also had Boipelo who would come every day to check up on me. Or she would make something up just to come and see me. We lived so purely and strongly involved in each other.

Where I lived, I did not have friends at all. I kind of hated that place I WANTED nothing to do with it all. Well as the went by approaching the festive seasons we had to leave the school resident. That was the last days I saw Boipelo. She was only a school friend but we had such a strong bond that we promised each other to keep it that way.
