MEET MY FRIEND

SHE STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM, NOW SHE IS HERE

Khothaco Selao is a final year student at the University of the Free State and we are doing the same course, media and journalism. She is from Kimberly in Northern Cape. She is a friendly person because smiles at you when you are talking and she is not rude.

This lady is interesting especially when you look at where she comes from and how she got where she is now. She did not really have a smooth childhood; she was almost raped while growing up and she did not get many chances or opportunities to get nice things that young children love. However, she managed to pass her matrix and now she is doing her final year, she really is a resilient child.

It gets more interesting when you look at her plans for the future; she intends to travel to Los Angeles to explore more, to take her career further, and to meet new people. Also, she likes to know more of countries in Africa.

Therefore, it is clear that she started from the scratch with her life; she suffered while growing up but she managed to go through with her dreams, she is pursuing her career and she is strong. This proves the saying that says “if you can conceive it then you can achieve it” because she told herself that despite her childhood background, she is going to get what she wants in life. I think she is interesting because she learned how to dance in the rain than waiting for the storms to pass.
