| My 20th Birthday. |
It’s always nice to sit and reflect on the past year, for me
this shows me whether or not I’ve grown spiritually, emotionally or physically.
I have to admit that I haven’t been going to church has much
as too, reason being I’m in a different environment and I haven’t found a spiritual home that I feel
I belong too ever since I’ve moved to the Eastern Cape. However, I pray and
worship God all the time and that for me keeps me going. My time with God is so
secret and I feel that I’ve grown spiritually because without our Father God I
wouldn’t have made it through the challenges in the past year.
20 was just a year of building a solid foundation that I
have to stand on from the day I turned 20 and onwards, it was the beginning of
new things, a real learning curve. I’m not perfect but I know I’ve done a well
for someone in my shoes.
The accident that gave birth to my first nickname “Knecky”,
this was the bitter part of my year, I thought I was either going to die or be
paralyzed honestly. But by the grace of our Father God, it was just a soft
tissue injury. This was a major wake-up call and I think it was God’s way of
telling me that I’m starting to relax and take life for granted and something
had to be done. Since that day, I now appreciate all my well-functioning body
parts and organs. I’m healthy not because of my will but because our God is an
awesome God and He lives inside of me.
To my girls (Omphemetse, Dineo, Reabetswe, Neo, Elaine &
Sincerity) who had my back and kept me going thank you very much, I cannot even
find words to express how grateful I am for your support. I love you ladies
very much. To Andiswa Madikane, I love you so much, you are my everything, without you I doubt I
would’ve survived my first year in university. You made me feel as though I
belonged and I’m so blessed to have had someone to walk through this journey
with.
To my Family, you guys kept me going at all times. Your
unconditional love really means a lot to me. Your support has really kept me
sane especially in instances where I thought I was going insane, thank you very
much. I love you guys with all that I have in me.
I’m turning 21 in less than 48 hours and have I grown? Yes,
I have grown. I’m now a blogger, made cheerleading captain of the University for
2013 in my first year, I’m now serving on the Black Management Forum (BMF) as a
projects officer executive and lastly I’m also serving on the Law Student
Council as Deputy Secretary. My brother reminded me that “With great power
comes great responsibility”. As much as I’m proud to have these titles, I
should never forget that my first priority is to get excellent grades and get
that Law Degree in record time and always remember my favourite saying that “I
am here to serve NOT to be served”.
How do I do it? God,
time management and asking for help all the time, allowing others to critize my
dreams in order for me to grow in to a better lead that is responsible.
Yes, 21 I’m so ready for you and I love the woman that I’m
growing into. I love you Khensani!
