Striking a balance

This year has certainly been challenging for me, each year it has been getting harder being away from my daughter (Zenande) and my son (Mthawelanga). It seemed easier not to focus on leaving them behind, while I was in pursuit of my career or studies. I always had at the back of my mind that I'm doing all this for them, now why is it getting harder? Some things are really easier said than done.

Being a single, studying and working mom is really a challenge, but if other women could do it why can't I. It's all for my little angels and one day I realised that this is all a rat race. I'm chasing something that will take me time to achieve so I think it's time to take the next step. While I continue with my studies I want my children to live with me and for them to share in my challenges and to grow with me. Being a young mom has its challenges, positive ones as well.

I'm now looking forward to the next journey of my life of staying with my children. My daughter is starting Grade 1 next year and it has been a nightmare trying to find a school for her. With the challenges I have had as a mother, I ask myself how did my mother do it? Big ups to all the single parents, please write blogs and tell me how you did it.
