Inxalenye enkulu yeli bali kum sisigqibo endisenzileyo sokuyeka ikholeji emva kwesemester enye. Ngelixa ndifixiwe, bendisazi ukuba yinto ekufuneka ndiyenzile ukuxhasa umbono endizenzele wona. Kubonakala ngathi kuyaphikisana nembono yoluntu yokuba sonke kufuneka sifumane isidanga seminyaka emine, isihlunu kwinkqubo, kwaye sinyukele phezulu sisebenzela nzima iphupha lomnye lo gama sihlawula ngokungagungqiyo ityala esangena kulo ukuzenzela lo mjikelo .
Kwisithuba esincinci, kwabhengezwa kule veki ukuba ityala lemali mboleko yomfundi lifikelele kwi- $ 1.2 trillion.
Ndicinga ukuba ingangathethi into yokuba oku kunokuba nefuthe elibi kakhulu kuqoqosho lwethu, singasathethi ke ngokuphila kunye nokuziphilisa kwabantu abaninzi abancinci ababebhankisha kwimfundo yasekholejini ukubenza babe yimpumelelo yeenkwenkwezi. Inkqubo yeYunivesithi ndiyijonga kakhulu njengeshishini. Ngelixa kukho ixabiso elinokufunyanwa kwindawo yokufunda yoluntu, inkqubo eyakhelwe kuyo imfundo yethu ephezulu isisiseko esingagungqiyo nesineenjongo ezithandabuzekayo. Ndicinga ukuba bendinoluvo lwale nto xa ndigqiba ekubeni ayindifanelanga.
Andiveli kwimvelaphi yelungelo. Ukwenza ukhetho lokushiya ikholeji akubandakanyi naluphi na uhlobo lokhuseleko. Andizange ndiyazi into eza kwenzeka. Usapho lwam aluzange lubonise omnye umfanekiso ngaphandle kwento endandiyifundile ngephupha laseMelika, ootatomkhulu noomakhulu bafudukela apha kwaye basebenza nzima ngendlela emangalisayo ukuze bakhe ubomi babo kwaye baphumelele. Ukukhula, ndibukele umama wam esebenza iintsuku eziyi-7 ngeveki ukuze sikhule kakuhle. Ndijonge utata wam esokola ukugcina umsebenzi, esebenza nzima ngokungummangaliso, kwaye ndibeka umzekelo wokuba akukhathaleki kangakanani. Abazali bam banyanzelisa ukuba mna noodade wethu siye kwiikholeji ngesi sizathu, yindlela eyenziwa ngayo. Unyuka ileli, uze uyiqonde apha endleleni.
Ngandlela thile, nangoku, yonke le ngcinga ayikhange ihlale kakuhle nam. Izifundiswa zazingazange zibe sisuti yam eyomeleleyo, eyayingengomphumo wokungabi nabukrelekrele kakhulu, nangakumbi ukuba indlela endandifunda ngayo kunye naleyo ndandiyifunda yayingabhebhethekisi umlilo wam. Ndandinamava obomi bokwenyani, ndiphila i-adventure endaweni yokufunda ngayo. Ukwakha iphupha endaweni yokucinga ngalo. Oku kukwahluka phakathi kokuba ngusomashishini ophumeleleyo kunye nomntu ohleli ecaleni.
Ndandifuna ukwenza intsapho yam ibe neqhayiya. Ndifuna ukuthobela into ethethwa ngabazali bam, kuba ndinentlonipho enkulu kubo. Ke, ngokuchasene neenkolelo zam, ndingena kwihobe kumava asekholejini ngenxa yokuyidubula. Isemester yam yokuqala, bendonganyelwe bubungqina bendixhasa imvakalelo yam yokuba konke oko bekukuthengiselana okukhulu. Ndayalelwa ukuba zeziphi izifundo ekufuneka ndizithathile, ngexabiso elingakanani, ukuze ndifumane ukuba zeziphi iikhredithi, kwaye ndithenge neencwadi zezifundo. Ndaxelelwa ezantsi kwidola ukuba kungabiza malini ukuphila isemester yeenyanga ezine yobomi bam. Ndandinomdla wokufunda indlela yokuqalisa ishishini, kunye nezemali, kodwa ndandingafumani loo mava. Ndabona ukuba kwakungengokwam, nangona abahlobo bam nabo bonke abantu ababendijikelezile babezinikele ngentliziyo iphela kulonyaka wokukhwela. Abahlobo bam abasenyongweni babefunda kwisikolo esahlukileyo, behamba amatheko, kwaye kwakubonakala ngathi ilizwe alikho. Abazali bam babengenakukwazi ukundifaka esikolweni, ngoko ke bendizakufuneka ndikhuphe imali mboleko. Izinto zazingakhange zikhangeleke ngokungathi ngumfanekiso oqaqambileyo wokufezekiswa okuyinyani endandikhokelwe ukuba ndikholelwe ukuba kunokwenzeka.
Kulapho ndaye ndathatha isigqibo sokuzibophelela kwimfundo yokuzimela.
I-Intanethi yayiqala ngokwenene ukuza kuphila ngeli xesha. Imidiya yokuncokola yayiqala ukuduma ngeMyspace kunye neAIM. Ndifuna ukwazi ukuba ndiyisebenzisa njani njengesixhobo, ukuba ingabanjiswa njani ukwenza ingeniso. Ukukhula koku, ukuthanda kwam okokuqala yayiyimakethi yesitokhwe. Ndikhuliswe ngokwazisa ngeWall Street, le ndawo yasentsomini apho abantu benza khona iitoni zemali kwaye besazi malunga neenkqubo zemali ezintsonkothileyo. Iwebhu yenkunzi apho yandichukumisa. Ngokukhawuleza, ndazifundisa. Ndabona kwakhona ukuba kwakungekho ndawo ye-intanethi eyayifikeleleka ngokulula ukuba ifunde malunga nemarike yemasheya kunye ne-matrix yobutyebi ngendlela eyomileyo nengqale ngqo. Ke ndiyenzile.
Inantoni yokwenza le yokuyeka ikholeji?
Le mbono iphambeneyo yayiyishishini lam lokuqala. Ndakhulisa olo luntu, iStock Spot, ukuya kubantu abangamawaka alishumi. Ndifunda kubacebisi abazinikeleyo. Ndabona ukuba ndiyithanda ngokwenene imarike yemasheya. Yandiqhuba. Oko kwandigcina ndikhuthazeka, kwaye ndasebenza nzima ngakumbi kunangaphambili. Ndisafuna ukubenza bazingce abazali bam, lonto yayingatshintshanga. Uloyiko lokungaphumeleli kuko okwakundigcina ndisiya phambili, andivumi ukunikezela, ndijikeleza zonke iiyure zobusuku, ndizama ukususa elo shishini emhlabeni.
Inye into eyakhokelela kwenye, kwaye ngexesha uninzi lwabahlobo bam babesandul 'ukuphuma ekholejini, ndandingusozigidi.
Okwangoku, lonke ixesha bendinentloko yam ndisila into endiyithandayo, wonke umntu ondingqongileyo wayeqinisekile ukuba ndiza kusilela. Abantu babecinga ukuba ndingumthengisi weziyobisi. Bayijongele phantsi into yokuba ndiphumile ekholejini. Kodwa, ndayeka ukuphuma ekholejini, ndandingenatyala, kwaye ndandiphila ngephupha lam.
Akukho mntu wayekholelwa ukuba umntu angaphumelela ngaphandle kwebhokisi yoluntu esiyenzileyo malunga nokuba impumelelo ibukeka kanjani.
Impumelelo ayisoloko ilandelelana. Ifuna uthando, ukuzinikela, ukungaguquguquki, ukuzibophelela kunye nokusebenza nzima. Ngamanye amaxesha kukwabandakanya ukufuna ukwenza abazali bakho babe neqhayiya. Into endinokuyithetha ngokuqinisekileyo ngokuqinisekileyo kukuba ngekhe ndibekho apho ndikhoyo ukuba bendikhe ndasokola kwiminyaka emine yenkqubo engenzi nto ngaphandle kokundinika isiqwenga sephepha ngenjongo yokuchitha iiyure ezininzi kwigumbi lokufundela apho ndinokuthi okanye Andilufumenanga ulwazi endilufunayo, ngexabiso leyure eliya kuthi liphume liye kufana nokuba nonyango okanye umcebisi wenqanaba eliphezulu.
Nabahlobo bam? Abakwazanga ukufumana imisebenzi. Babefuna ukufunda kum. Ndiqeshe abanye babo.
Nanku umgca wendlela: inkqubo yaphukile.
Kuya kufuneka sichaze impumelelo kuthi. Akukho ndlela imiselweyo yokuphumelela, kukho kuphela umbono onawo ngokwakho, kunye nenkuthazo efunekayo ukuze ufike apho. Uninzi lwezakhono esizifunayo ebomini aziveli ngaphakathi kweendonga ezine, zivela ngokuba ngaphandle emhlabeni. Kwilizwe elinamandla amakhulu, ukungena kumjikelo wetyala ngenxa yokuba umntu othile ekuxelele ukuba yindlela izinto ezenziwa ngayo yindlela yomlilo eqinisekileyo yokwandisa ukuzaliseka kokwenza oko ufuna ukukwenza. Kukho amakhulu abasunguli abancinci abatshintsha umhlaba ngaphandle kweekholeji.
