Many people think they know me because they see me in lectures or walking on campus. Some ask silly questions of how do I 'survive' leaving my children behind in East London and pursuing a career. People who ask me these silly questions clearly don't know me. They don't know why I am here and studying my BTech.
I am studying because I want to better my life. My definition of success is getting an education and making a mark in the Communications industry. Success to me is being able to provide my children with the same or better opportunities than I had. I want to be their living proof that whatever you put your mind into, you can do no matter what your situation is. Some people find having children crippling, but I chose to see it as an inspiration.
In life you need someone to believe in your dream to help you to achieve it and it is that believe that pushes you to succeed. When my children look at me they see the world and when I look at them, I see inspiration. If anyone wants to know how I survive not seeing my children, it is because I am doing this for love.
People should not judge because you don't know where a person is going and where they are going to end up. Like the saying goes "don't judge a book by it's cover".
