when i first came here (Rhodes university) i knew i had registered for journalism but i was clueless of what it was. i got the inspiration from one of the members of my family who is really fond of journalism and from one of my friends who's working for a community newspaper. coming from an underpriviledged society i didn't have the resources to dig more deeper on this career so fell for it because i wasn't really good with numbers and i had no back up plan as well so i thought what's the heck.. let me give it a try. few months after i started doing the course i was uncertain whether i should continue doing it or not because it was pretty hectic but as time went by i developed passion for it. now i'm no longer doing it just to keep my DP (duly perfomance certificate) so that i don't get expelled from the university but i see it as a platform where i could represent the poor and disadvantaged because i know exactly how it feels like to be part of a society where your voice makes no difference, where there's no proper educational facilities and more especially where you're only recognised when there's elections. i want equity it may not be financially but socially.
