How are you pursuing your dreams?

After working for so many years at SAA, I never thought I will leave my job. I was very passionate about what I was doing. I started disliking my job because there was no growth. Some my colleagues had been with the company for 30 years, but had no plans to move. I told myself I did not want to be a fossil in the organisation.

There was always a small voice in my head that said 'you are still not done with your school'. It is easier to keep busy than to face your fears. When we first met, I was assisting a very difficult passenger that my colleagues did not want to help. As the passionate employee that I was, I helped someone it so happens that he was the one to encourage to take on this journey. At the time, Professor Dakora was a dean at CPUT. He would encourage me that I need to study further and empower myself as woman.

All his aspirations for me to study beyond a diploma seemed like such a fantasy. I thought this man must be joking and not everyone is meant to study to become a professor. I have now obtained my National Diploma and currently studying BTech and pursuing my dreams. I am following that small voice in my head and I want to become a communication specialist.
