MY FIRST DIFFERENT STORY TO WRITE.
How I wished to post this page on my blog the time I got the diploma done. How can I share sorrows and hide cerebrations. Sorry, had no much access to internet until date. The news is I have the Accounting Diploma that I have been working so hard for.
First and far most I want to thank God for being there for me. My strength, knowledge, altitude, wisdom and hard working are nothing. The love of God is the source of my Achievement. When I feel lonely He holds my right hand and led me on. Amid of peril my eyes filled with tears, crying so hard to stop; He came down from the sky and comforts me. I heard the voice you are my child and I cares for you.
I have to say success goes with a hand from those who are around you. No man is an island. I would like to thank the following people who share my challenges in one way or the other. To error is human, there are there mistakes for sure, forgive me and forget.
First thanks should go to my parents and Uncle Patrick. He financially helped me during my academic qualification until it was hard for Professional. I know you had the heart to continue but you couldn’t manage. When I got started, you were so proud of me that you give a hand whenever short fall comes, may God bless you.
It will be hard for me to jump Uncle Steven and uncle lameck, who helped me to pay for my passport and all transport expenses to South Africa. I am proud of you uncle’s. Thank you for loving me.
I want to thank Dave Tiat and his family. Your presence made me achiever. When I need help you was there for me. The laptop you gave me, the first introductory lessons. The hand you give in choice of examination body, the printing of ACCA documents from the internet, the digital camera, I have no word. Thank you. The kindness of kuba’s mum is the one I will never forget most. Please do not stop doing such good to others. God bless you.
Dave introduced me to NITI BHAN, the hidden secret of success. I remember sitting by the grass in Pretoria east. By then they were doing a research on how people wanted there mobile phone to be like. Not knowing what tomorrow will bring. She gave me job as written in the blog post entitled project with emerges futures lab, OO!!! I was about to give up after being so blocked. But my career came back in its track. Niti, I always remain grateful.
Vaughn and lilani wrote a letter to me. It was and will remain inspirations to me all the way. It really causes me to cry with hope. Allow me to write some few paragraphs directly as written in the letter.
Dear John,
From Thursday you are embarking 0n a wonderful journey towards achieving a big goal. We are so proud of you and will be praying for you all the way and wish you well on this adventure.
The journey will definitely bring about its challenges, but through prayer and dedication you will succeed in you goals. Never take up a challenge alone, there for let God help you and teach you and reach out when ever you feel overwhelmed.
Keep your head up all the way, for everyday is one day closer to what you have been working hard for.
I watched a move called pursuit to happiness and the following phrase is something that has helped me in difficult times, “never let anyone tell you, you cannot do something!!!” Also your attitude determines your altitude, for you have control over your destiny and God will help you.
Study hard, enjoy life and never look back.
I tell you this letter has been inspiration since then up until now and it will ever be. I stamped by the wall in my room to read and read all over again. I remain grateful for this letter. May the God lord bless you?
Mr. and Mrs. S. Chimbiri, the man is my cousin from my father side. They called me to stay with them to save rent expenses. What a privilege I had, this isn’t easy many do fail. We had a wonderful family together. The time I stayed with you brings memories ever seen. Continue saving God, Do what you did to me to other people in need.
Mrs. Nyongani, We were studying together. At last I call her mum. When I stack she gave me fees. She you used to say, “Your problems are my problems, your people are my people” I love mum. I have nothing to turn back. It’s my petition that God guide in all your walk of life including your studies. I will never forget.
While I was at school, I used to go to an internet café. Its name was tech-solutions, Blessing’s Chipande being the owner. They asked me to help them photocopying documents for fees in short falls. I liked the job. He kept the contract. He extended my duties to banking the daily cash collected from the café. He introduced me to his parents Dr & Mrs. Chipande. They employed me in their wholesale. The monthly stock taking, the daily sales Reporting, Economic ordering of inventories and updating stock expiry dates ooh!!! What an experience I have. Thanks for the job. I remember the last day, when we were saying goodbye Dr chipande said, “John, nobody will lift you up”, “hard working and honest is what every employer needs, receive my blessings”. I like all these phrases. Thanks for your encouragement.
My fellow students at school, Victoria Meya, Micheal Masache, Joel, Andrew and many to list. Guys when I am banned from class due to lacking fees. We do some discussion making me perfect as if I have attended the classes. Thanks.
The MCA librarians, I like you all.
Now i am back in south africa, Having part time job as clerk with a chartered accountant; Werner scholtz. i like the job, i am learning more everytime i work.
I would like this to be my first success story; I can’t wait to come with another when I turn myself into a chartered accountant, for that is what I am longing for. Though isn’t simple, though challenges are so many, I will never look back.
