Being at school for 17 years…

Being at school for 17 years, means that I have been studying most of my life. I haven’t experienced life without having to worry about assignments, exams, tests and presentations. I have always had school keeping me busy and on my toes. I just can’t seem to stop wondering how my life will be without studying. Studying has always been a way of keeping myself challenged and preoccupied. I have heard people say that they have returned to school merely because they felt that they needed to challenge themselves. What I do know right now is that I need to take a break from studying and live my life with out studying for at least a year or so.

I hope to study further because I have realised that it is important to keep on studying as it empowers you as an individual and it opens up opportunities. The biggest reward is walking up on the stage and receive your qualification on graduation day; you look back on the time and effort you put in order to get there. That feeling is indescribable; it’s something that you are simply grateful for.

Here is to the future and what it holds.

The year 2010…

The year 2010, when you first came to existence I was filled with so much excitement looking forward to what you would bring us.

The year 2010, you brought so much pain and sadness when I lost my grandmother on January 28.

The year 2010 you brought so much hope and joy to our county when we hosted the World Cup from June 11- July 11 with the whole world watching what we as South Africans were capable of.

The year 2010 you have united our nation and put our country on the map.
The year 2010 you brought a very challenging year. Studying this year has taken a lot of hard work and determination and has shaped be in to a better individual who is ready to take on the industry next year.

The year 2010, you have taken away from me loved ones but you have also introduced me to new people and brought me new friends.

The year 2010, you have given me strength and courage to face each day with an open mind and I have been able to identify that there are endless possibilities out there.

In about two months time, we will part my friend and it will be as if you never existed, but I will forever remember all the things that happened during 2010 and I shall remember that they all happened for a reason; a reason which might have not been apparent at the time.

Don’t take things lightly…

Yesterday while I was engaging in a conversation with a friend, I noticed how miserable she was, but her take on life was generally positive. When she mentioned how at her age she hadn’t acquired a career, a car, a qualification, a life partner and a child meant that she really didn’t have anything that she could be grateful for. I could merely tell her that she should be grateful for her life and for being healthy.

We shouldn’t take things such as having decent health lightly as many people don’t have this privilege; health can be a daily struggle for some people.

Let us not compare the things we have with other people, as people don’t all achieve things at the same rate as others; other people progress quicker in life than others.

So let us be grateful for what we have and not take the things and people we have in our lives for granted.

Your own happiness comes first…

Have you ever been in a position in which you find that your own happiness is influenced by people around you? You compare the way you live your life with people around you even though they have different values and believes. You may find that you have compromised many things in order to be happy when others haven’t. I was at a point in my life where I thought that I was compromising a lot of things in order to be happy.

I soon realised that maybe it is best to stick with what I have in my life even though it has meant that I have had to compromise, because firstly I don’t know how long the happiness will last and when I will be completely happy or content with what I have in my life.

So I have decided that I should live for the moment and stick with what makes me happy right now and not worry about what others have to say. I should simply put myself first.

My favourite Cat in the Hat book is…

The last time I read a Cat in the Hat book must have been when I was in primary school. I used to enjoy reading the books because they were funny and entertaining, the crazy story lines captured one’s imagination.

A movie based on the Cat in the Hat book was released on the big screen in 2003 ; I had an opportunity of watching the movie and see the story come to life right in front of me. Cat in the Hat books have been around for over 50 years and hopefully they will be still around for generations to come in order for children to enjoy them.

Maybe I should give myself a chance to read one of the books soon, who knows the book might bring out the child in me.

Why I have conversations?

I have conversations simply because as human beings it is vital to have some sort of communication in order to understand what the next person is thinking. Conversations permit for an exchange of information to take place; through conversations we are able to learn new information and share knowledge. Conversations contribute to the intellectual growth of a person; the more we know the better we become accustomed to our environment.

Conversations nowadays take place not just face to face but also through various mediums such as social media tools. I personally engage in conversations with people usually because I want to know what they opinion is regarding a certain issue, or may be because I want to know more about them.

Regardless what the reason may be behind why I have conversations I feel that having conversations is the way of life. As humans we all have the need to engage in conversations each day may it be at work or school or even at home.
