Being sinistral/ left handed by birth;there was a phase during my pre-school years when I thought other kids around me were kinda funny & weird for using the wrong hand (their right hand) when working on their drawings or paintings. I was too blind to even realize I was the one who was odd one out & using the 'wrong' hand! Then when I finally realized I was the odd one out, I started feeling abnormal, asking my mum why I was different!
...even though I was different for using the opposite hand as compared to other kids, my mum assured me I was as perfectly normal as the rest of them; I just prefered to do my things from the left side!
I would listen to Sr Marie De Pace's advice & make sure I keep all the Rosaries that she used to distribute at free will,especially the white ones that glow in the dark;
I would sing all her favorite Latin & English hymns with a sincere heart,(pretending like i know the meaning of all those Latin songs);
I would not get mad at her for telling me I am not pronouncing the Latin words properly or calling me a "mbudzi" for chewing gum or talking during those Thursday singing sessions;
I would make sure I never sleep in those 6am English masses,
I would never chew gum & put it under my desk or smack while chewing my gum,for I know only "mombes & mbudzis" do that (Sr De Pace);
I would never dance in church services like I am in a "disco" no matter how interesting the song is;
I would never give Mrs Nallipogu,my Indian accounts teacher a hard time,even after she gives me a punishment of "KNEELING down" in front of the class/ or "STANDING on one leg" for making noise during the Accounts class;
Would never give names to some of my teachers eg Rocka Jani, Labho, Bombers; Bhary; Zeddy; Bobba & the likes;
I would never call my Head Master "Tetsi-Man"...
I would never hide under my bed so that I can abscond going to the Rosary prayers before night study..
I would never allow myself to get pierced 3 times on each ear;because according to Mrs Baricholo,prefects like me with 3 piercing were not leading by example to other student..
I would never go on a "SEE-ME" so that Rocka-Jani doesn't have to chase me with a long stick all the way to the girls hostels...
I would play with our matron's mind "Mhodza Chibovero" by telling her photosynthesis yangu,ne metamorphosis zvangu zviri kurwadza!
I would never call Mr Ngara..PUMBA;because I know he clearly doesnt look like PUMBA from Lion King..
I maybe finding humor in the wrong places but if you have been in a situation where a baboon/monkey chases you because its trying to snatch your bag of Chompkins or your muguri wechibage or maybe they attack your field of maize cobs/chibage;this pic is jus on point! It doesn't get more straight forward than this!
Somethings seem so impossible until they are done.As hard as it may seem;keep on pushing forward and working hard towards your dream.One day you will get there. Let the Lord be your guidance always.
I am still recovering from the ZimExpo 2010 hangover. The experience I gained was splendid and I certainly enjoyed myself. I only went as high as top 5,which was ok but not what I had bargained for!
Big congratulations to all the girls for putting up such a show at the 2010 Miss Zim-USA; it was awesome meeting up with you guys. Hope to meet in the future.
I am still recovering from the ZimExpo 2010 hangover. I certainly enjoyed myself being with a bunch of awesome girls. The experience that I gained was splendid. I made it to the top 5 finalists but I guess the night certainly didn't belong to me. After this experience, I want to be known for one thing, and that is endurance. Endurance in what I do. Right now I am struggling with my emotions, OH how I so much wanted to get the crown; but lets just say maybe this year was not my year. I however want to make it clear, NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER are the words I am going to live by for now!
So yes, this year may not have been my year, I stumbled here and there but I am determined to make it till the end so watch out for this space because this is just the beginning. you shall hear of my success and other greater things to come. Hope time and space will be friendly to me and my name will be written in the history books for the generations to come to read. Just know, whatever struggle you go through, fight through it. Believe in God for restoration for greater things in this life. God is faithful and all the time He is faithful.
Big congratulations to all the girls for putting up such a show at the 2010 Miss Zim-USA; it was awesome meeting up with you guys. Hope to meet in the future.
