I didn’t believe them when they said “reality hits after matric “.You know I thought my life would be easier because I am furthering my studies at one of the best universities in South Africa.My life while I was in high school was a lot easier well that is what I thought .Come to think of what I went through during my high school days is nothing compared to what I am going through right now.Looking back at my home situation motivates me to keep moving and to never give up.Last few months have been tough but am still glad that I am still moving.Varsity life is good but the pressure that we go through is not good even our insecurities hit harder each and everyday,the self-esteem is drastically declining .Reality does hit hard and everything here in life revolves around money and without it you might feel like you’re not going to make or even worth it.One of the main aims I’ve decided to pursue my studies was so that I could help my mom being raised by a single unemployed parent is not easy so I wanted to help her where I could because without her I don’t know where I would be in life,she is the reason why I try not to give up even though it is not easy.My life wouldn’t be my life without my mom’s foundation.

Sometimes when you want to give up reflect on what you went through first.
