Money/happiness
I've just finished my grade 12 and I passed well ,turned down my enemies by doing good on my results because they always thought I'm those "slow person" if they say . parents are happy,many people are talking about being " umahlalela" ,well I didn't think I would be one of the too bad I can't even afford an applying fee that means I'll join them . I'm woken up by mom shouting she's always shouting these days " sphe don't you know amihle has to go to school ubusy ubunyelele embhedeni ilokho nje okwaziyo ukudla nokulala ontanga bakho bayasebenza ngaphandle !!" yep I have to take my sisters child to school and bathe her everyday but it still 06:00am.
Days are passing by things are now turning into bad for me cz I now sometimes run out of toiletries and no one's willing to help I'm talking about my family, mom's now always complaining about me staying at home . I'm just in my room listening to music while trying to apply ,but no luck I now take it as a game " here you said you don't have pads go and buy them and buy us drink it hot can't you hear it? Of course how you gonna hear the hottnes because you always here destroying my bed go now , Don't forget to fetch amihle at school on the change of your sanitary buy her ice " bang! That the door she's out I get up and leave go to shop and come back to cooking and prepare dinner .
Sthandile: chommie how are you
Me: I'm good friend you
Sthandile: I'm good how's life ,I miss you and your craziness 😉
Me: everything is good I miss you too we'll see each other don't worry ,you remember our promise right.
Sthandile is a good friend of mine since high school but she left after matric and went back to her family in Durban

Hours tuned to days ,days to weeks ,weeks to months, I'm in the kitchen cleaning mom enter, " sphe can you come here so we can talk " I drop everything and join her

Masbisi: how long are you willing to sith at home cause you can see we full in the house there's no space you event don't have things to bath I now take care of you .Your sisters are busy outside they working and bringing me money ,what about you
Sphe: mom I'm applying but there's no luck so what will be the use of going but bring nothing to you
Masbisi: I don't know sphe and I don't care ,oh I almost fogort your brother is bringing his child so he'll be using your room you see why I say you useless
