God Has Never Failed Me :)

February 10, 2017 (Today Last Year)

It was a Thursday morning, woke up around 9/10am. I had a 11-1pm class, Marketing Internship.

I took a shower and prepared brunch because I was not in the mood to buy lunch at school or anywhere for that matter. I got dressed and all ready for class. Took a bottle of water and headed to the bus stop. On my way there, I felt a lil weird. I couldn't really tell what was up. It was very hot, I remember the heat. 

The bus came and I was on my way to school. It took 10-15 minutes from our apartments to school, provided there is no traffic. I was always 15 minutes early for class, they taught us well about time management. When I arrived in class I just knew, I was not going to concentrate because I was really not feeling well. I couldn't miss class because we were meeting our client whom we were designing a logo and other marketing strategies, so it was an IMPORTANT DAY TO BE IN CLASS THAT DAY. I decided to record the whole session with my phome cause my brain was out. My body was in class but my mind was somewhere else, I really didn't understand what was happening with myself.

When the class ended, I decided to take a nap at the school bench before I head back home. I slept for close to an hour. When I woke up, I was far worse than before. I got a lil scared and I asked God to help me. I just started walking and my aim was to head to the bus stop, but I went a different way. A school councilor saw me walking with my head down. And she asked me if I'm okay, knowing me I would've said yes. But I was honest and said no, I couldn't lie at all!! I told her that I just want to sit down I'm really not feeling well. She walked me to the nearest chair, and I sat down. I felt my body getting weaker and weaker. I asked her if I could just lay down on the ground. After lying down I don't remember what else happened. 

I remember waking up in hospital, with my Doctor on the side of the bed. I've never been so clueless ever. Waking up confused not knowing what just happened and how did I lend there. Few minutes later received a text from someone and she said she was coming to see me. 

Doctors came in, nurses came in and did some tests of what I have no idea. Few minutes later, she walked. I was glad to finally see a familiar face, I asked her what happened? Who took off my clothes? Why am I here. Few minutes later Megan walked in, I was thrilled to see another familiar face. This was me in my head "another episode oh gosh KG". I really felt bad, really bad. But this seemed more serious than the other episodes. I thanked them both for being there, I was finally being discharged and I also couldn't wait to see my housemates and just being in my bed.

So, that episode was a seizure, abnormal brain cell activity, electric something (I can't find medical records to really explain what happened).... It was scary and very disturbing to me. It took a while to adjust trying to remember what happened. I was also being reminded about who came to visit me, but I honestly don't remember seeing anyone. 

I thank God, for His protection it could've been worse. But He made sure that in everything I went through He was there to heal me, protect me and be there for me. Each time I was sick I really thought it was bad luck, I asked myself so many questions if was going to the US a mistake. What is this!!!! I couldn't tell my family, I hate worrying people and being so far I couldn't bare to tell them what was happening. That I've literally been in and out of hospital since October 2016-April 2017. Many times I just wanted to give up and fly back home.

But everyday I was reminded GIRL GOD IS THERE. GIRL PRAY. GIRL YOU ARE STRONG. GIRL YOU DIDN'T COME SO FAR TO GIVE UP. devil has no power. I pushed through as crazy as it was. I pushed myself a lot. I also mingled myself with great people, my support system they also kept me going. I appreciate their love and gesture. My houswmates, prayer warriors. 

United States of America was very interesting those who were around me can testify. Being very sick in a foreign country is not cool at all. We all went through the most. But one thing for sure I can conquer anything that comes my way. I am stronger than ever.

Dear Parents: Taking Sides :)

In continuation…. So here I was, just under 10 having to deal with a broken family that I still couldn’t stick together. You question your birth when you see your parents arguing. “Would they still be arguing if I wasn’t born”, these are actual normal questions more especially if you the only child and have no sibling to share the experience(s) with. It’s quite tricky, one minute I wanted siblings some days I didn’t. There is a saying I once heard “somethings should stay in the bedroom” and in this instinct, I WISH THAT HAPPENED. It was rather awkward at times because I had no idea what the argument was about, I think that’s why I always wanted to study Psychology (even though it didn’t happen) but I feel like I have psychology skills within me. I wanted to work around the human brain, to see and analyse how thoughts form in somebody’s mind. Where do you look when they suddenly throw tantrums at each other, smile? wave? Was I supposed to run to my mother? my father? What was ...

I was not designed to give up :)

Imagine getting to grade 12 (Matric) and still not know what you want to study in Varsity, I think that’s one of the worst nightmare. It feels like your life is not in order, or you just feel pretty much useless. In grade 10, we had to choose subjects and I chose very random subjects; Accounting, Tourism and Life Science. They were not bad in grade 10, but I felt the Accounting pressure in grade 11 all I wanted to do was to QUIT accounting. By the end of grade 11, I had made up my mind that in grade 12, I will not carry on with Accounting no ways! I was given the opportunity to change Accounting for Business Studies. I enjoyed it, even though it was just for a year. During that year, 2009 I was really thinking about my future and what do I want to study in Varsity and I wanted to study Psychology. I wanted to be a Psychologist because I wanted to work with people’s mindset and to help people. I felt from my past, I knew that wild be an advantage. I had a fantastic opportunity to...

An experience I will never forget :)

I was fortunate enough like I mentioned in my previous post, the opportunity to participate in an exchange program for a year 2016/17 called Community College Initiative Program. In my life, I never imagined myself flying all the way to the United States of America, more especially to LIVE there. I am about to share my experience and what I got up to throughout the year. When I received my flight ticket, I was in the car with my Granny, Aunt and Cousins. It had said 15 July 2016 was the day I will be leaving South Africa, my friends and family. The day I will be wearing my ‘big girl panties’ and being an adult with responsibilities. The packing was half way done, buying all necessary items bit by bit, but the flight ticket made it surreal. That was when I told myself “Girl, there is no turning back you about to change your life”. It was nerve racking because remember, I don’t know nobody in the US and I am leaving all by myself (even though I made a friend whom I will be tr...
