corruption

Here I am sitting at home with my flying colors results from matric.I worked hard to obtain such results but they don't care.There is my brother with qualifying degrees but sitting at home.It is also said in the Bible that they love the ones with positions and the rich ones.I am just a farm rural girl.They takes me for nothing.All the effort I applied to be where I am they don't care.

I worked hard when things were very tough for me.I read my books with every strength in me.To find out it is taking me nowhere it kills me on the inside.I did my matric without a matric shirt something special and unique about being a matriculant. I survived from all that and read my books.I used to come home and find no food to eat.I went to school everyday with no pocket money and came home late but that did me nothing.All those were just my encouragements.I worked very hard no matter how bad it was.

I passed my matric so well and my mother and siblings were very happy.At last I told them no more poverty.I promised them I am going to tertiary to further my studies.I was so happy I never felt like that before.By the time I received my results I waited patiently for my response from tertiary institutions I applied at.I waited with no worry.The first month ended with no response and I became worried. I kept the faith and stayed strong but nothing changed.The schools opened and I was rejected due to space.I accepted and took a gap year.I felt useless as I became a babysitter for my sister's baby as she was at school. I hated that fate.There was nothing I could do I couldn't say no to my mother.I spent the whole year babysitting a child.when the tertiary institution opens for the following year I applied again.I prayed for my applications.

The year ended and I didn't get accepted at any university. I went to town for walk ins but I didn't get any space many told me they were full other's told me no walk ins allowed. I came back home so hurt and broken.I felt so useless when I think of babysitting again.My relatives calls me names and insults me I feel so useless. And again I am babysitting.All this is because of corruption our spaces are given people who don't qualify while we got rejected. Some even buy courses from the ones with connections from the admission office. It is really not fair working hard for nothing.But one thing for sure I will fight this.I will never give up
