Umkhokeli weqela lokufota
Ndakhulela kubugcisa ndifundela umdaniso, kwimidlalo yeqonga, ukuzoba nomculo, ndaphumelela kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo xa ndandineminyaka eli-16 ubudala, emva koko ndaya eTexas Southern University. Kungekudala emva koko, ndaqala umsebenzi wam weshishini ngo-2010, ndihlala eDubai nase-Iraq iminyaka embalwa ndisebenza kumzi-mveliso weOyile neGesi.
Emva kokubuyela ekhaya, kunye nokuphinda sidibanise ne-bestie yam ye-high school ye-15yrs, sagqiba ekubeni siphume kwindawo yomhlobo kwaye satshata ngo-2014. Umsebenzi wakhe wasithatha eNigeria ixesha elide kwaye sachitha ixesha lethu eliphantsi lokuhamba ngehlabathi ngokutyelela eThailand, eVietnam. , S. Afrika, Tanzania, Hungary kunye neendawo ezininzi zaseYurophu.
Kulapho ndaqala khona ukufota, ndiqala ngokufota esitratweni, emva koko imifanekiso yabahlobo kunye neziganeko eLagos apho sasihlala khona ngelo xesha. Ngokuqinisekileyo ndiyibambe i-bug yefoto kwaye ndagqiba ekubeni ndifuna ukuyenza ngokusisigxina xa sibuyela ekhaya eTexas.
Ngoku sihlala e-Richmond, TX kwaye ndibe ngumfoti oqeqeshiweyo osisigxina ukususela ngo-2018. Sinabantwana ababini, u-Emerald (Emmie) & Jidenna (JJ), kunye noFinn, inja yethu enkulu esacinga ukuba injana. Xa ndingasebenzi, sithanda ukuchitha ixesha kwindalo sihlola iiPaki zikaRhulumente, kunye nokuzipholela elunxwemeni.
Usapho lwam luzibandakanye neFamilies Helping Families iminyaka emithathu ngoku, ifota kwaye isasaza izidlo kwiintsapho ezisweleyo. Kuluvuyo lwam ukunceda ummelwane wam uQuincy ukuba aqhubeke ekhula kwaye ekhonza abantu abaninzi ekuhlaleni.

Ndingumntu ozingcayo waseHoustoni, ozalelwe kwaye wakhulela apha kwaye ndiyaqhubeka nokubiza iHouston ekhaya. Njengesizukulwana sokuqala sasePersi/Pakistani yaseMelika, ndiyazingca ukuthi abazali bam bafudukela eUnited States ngo-1973, bafumana izidanga zabo, kwaye iHouston kulapho utata waba ngumnini weshishini ophumeleleyo iminyaka engama-40 ngoku. Uye wabelana nombulelo wakhe ngethuba lokuba iLizwe leThuba limnike umama kunye nathi bantwana abathathu. Ngenxa yoku, ndifumana imfuneko yokubuyisela kuluntu olunike ubomi kwintsapho yam.
Ndaphumelela kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo eWestbury Christian School ngo-1999 kwaye ndaya kwiYunivesithi yaseHouston Baptist de kwaba ngu-2003. HBU apho ndadibana nomhlobo wam othandekayo kunye nomseki weFamilies Helping Families, uQuincy Collins. Emva kokuba ndibe nentombi yam u-Alayna ngo-2007, ndiye ndayowongwa ngoLuhlu lweDean lomamkeli wembeko xa ndithweswa isidanga seYunivesithi yasePurdue nge-3.86 gpa. Indlela yam yomsebenzi yandikhokelela kwimpumelelo kulawulo lwemisebenzi yeshishini kumashishini ahlukeneyo, kwaye ngoku ndisebenza njengoMphathi weProjekthi.
IiNtsapho ezinceda iiNtsapho ngomnye wemibutho yesisa esiye sayamkela kubomi bethu, kwaye ndiwongwe ngendlela emangalisayo kwaye ndithobekile ukuba yiNkokeli yeQela leeNkonzo zoSapho. Ukuba nonxibelelwano lokuqala kunye nosapho olufumanayo, ndiziva kwaye ndibona umbulelo wenene, iinyembezi zovuyo, kunye nesiqabu esikhulu abasivakalisayo, kwaye ixabiseke ngokwenene. Yonke isekhondi endiyichitha nalo mbutho ifanelekile. Ukubuyisela kwiintsapho ezitsala nzima kugcwalisa imiphefumlo yethu, kwaye siya kukhonza uluntu lwethu ngokuzingca ngeeNtsapho eziNcedisa iiNtsapho. Ndiyabulela kuluntu ngokunika ubomi obuxabisekileyo usapho lwam, kwaye le yeyona nto incinci endinokuyenza ukubonisa umbulelo wethu. Ngendingekho namhlanje ukuba ibingekho lento yabahlali.
