Different Emotions

by Slondiwe Majozi (South Africa)

I didn't expect to find South Africa

When my Family said we moving to another province i was so happy, but i did not know that it meant i had to learn to stand on my two feet. It felt like i moved to another planet because the weather, the people and everything was different, imagine having to learn a new language at my age but we all came to the city of Gold to make our lives better. When i got an opportunity to go to university i was so excited because it meant i will fulfill my dreams but i never exoected that i have to learn to be independent and moving from the rural area to the bug city was too much, girls here wore differently and some walked around like they naked but they did not mind. I told myself that i am going to make it and i am not going to be stopped by anyyhing and i did look at me today.I have a great job, great family and a good house because if i allowed myself to look at everything i am facing i would not be here. I always reminded myself that i have no one so i have to make sure that all my dreams are made possible so that even my parents in heaven are proud and my family was, they reminded me with every chance that i have no one to lean on yes that hurt at that time but as i grew up that made me happy because they made me build up a backbone. So here i am today and i am much happy, yes i prayed that my life would be amazing but i didn't know that a dash of more happiness will be added.
