A letter from Zukiswa Ngulube

Zukiswa is embarking on her final year of IT studies at the Central University of Technology in Bloemfontein. She wrote this note to Independence ZA last year.

“My first semester in 2008 was great but at first I struggled. I knew no one and had no friends. Sometimes I wanted to cry as I was not used to being on my own. When time went along I found some friends who were doing IT. I struggled with the course in the beginning as I had not known computers before.

But that was in the beginning. I have passed my first year and now am in second year. Some of the subjects are still tough but I know who to ask for help and it gets easier with time. I am enjoying myself this year.

I am staying with my friend Motshidisi in a flat and going to university every day. I am enjoying it and feeling at home because some of my Philippolis friends are now here too.

I really want to thank you for what you are doing for me. Without you we would be sitting doing nothing and wasting the dreams we have been dreaming. You made my first step to my dream come true and I really appreciate it. I feel that everything is possible.”
