Perseverance

perseverance

After finishing matric I was overthinking, thinking of what I will do in December, I wanted to get a job and Earn some penny ,but It was not that easy, because I had to go and print a CV so that I can apply for a job .

But that took a long time because I had no penny to print . And to ask for a penny to my mother was a difficult thing to do . I had that think ,that I won't ask for money to anyone, I wanted to do things by my self without asking for help but when time goes on I realised that it was a stupid thing I thought it was right..

December passed relatives return to their jobs and I was waiting for the results which will be announced on the 18 January 2024 . But those 18 came sooner than I thought and I got a Bachelor with 3 Distinctions .

The time moved very quickly and I was in Free State university. Doing my BA Law where I deal with crime .

As I was studying I had to find a job for pocket money and for the apartment I was renting . I was called for the interview. In a business which was called Toyota

They wanted general workers and I got lucky because I was hired and other 4 people and guess what? I was the only young man there😭😂,, but what I liked the is that they thought me many things and what they thought me the most was to Respect. They use to say, respect will get you wherever you want to be,only if you respect, and in order to be respected you respect first.

One day , one of my late classmate who was Noluyolo was walking where I was mopping, eccindentialy we hit on each other , and I was like "ohh sorry miss " but I saw that Nah this is Asanda I was happy to see her and tried to handshake her but she just pretended as she doesn't know me anymore ,but I did mind even though it was embarrassing , people may think I'm mad , but I didn't mind all of that because a wise friend once told me that ""dirty water doesn't stop a flower from growing up ,so don't let anyone destroy your confidence"". those words really gave me power to bring back my degnity and my Confidence.

6 years later I was doing my last year in university , and I was doing practicals , solving cases as I was dealing with crime cases ,like murder and robbery. By that time I was the top student in my class as I was called by people from high positions,where they wanted me to solve the cases .

One night I received a call from someone who was well known in my community for doing great things for my community even though I would receive a call from ,but I was glad I did because as he told me what kind or Case am I going to solve. I arranged a meeting with him and the person I'm going to stand up for in court.The meeting was held in the restaurant in Johannesburg on the 18 of March where I saw Asanda I was wondering if she was the person I will be presenting in court, guess what? she was the person , she was surprised to see me , maybe she was asking herself how did I became a lawyer ,the way she was staring at me I couldn't even make an eye contact with her . They told me the whole story and what happened before she was in this kind of situation .

It came out that she murdered someone else by mistake but because of my good heart and a forgiving person ,I took the case . The meeting was dismissed,as they left . By that time I had many clients to be representing in court,but I chose her case first. Looking at her case , there was nothing difficult except that she's that "person" she is . Luckily the hearing was on Friday so we were all able to make it . The case was discussed and she was found NOT guilty . Being a lawyer is being a whiskey in a tea cup ,we make decisions due to how much you put on the table that is why you'll never see a lawyer wearing a White suite while in court , they only wear black because that's their symbol of DARKNESS everything about them is unseen or unknown.

She was so embarassed,she couldn't even make eye contact with me , shameless of what she did while I was a geniter ,but that's not the point , the point is that all that I was doing,working putting all of my energy to, that was for me and my future. Increasing points and gaining Dignity also moving to the next step of POWER,as I'm still a young man. All I ever wanted for me is that everyone should be treated with respect even if they are not that strong in their pockets, but that's not for me to tell or control everyone to do so .
