\u201cEk dink persoonlik nie dat ek so goed is soos wat mense s\u00ea nie, maar wat belangrik is, is dat ek mense se hart en siel wil aanraak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zola Adams (36) of die \u201csingende ambulansvrou,\u201d is \u2019n nooddienswerker wat aan die voorste linie staan van die Covid-19-pandemie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zola is in Atlantis gebore en geto\u00eb en sy vertel sy was \u2019n rebel as tiener en het die skool verlaat voor sy matriek kon skryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk sing reeds vandat ek kan onthou en het meestal in die kerkkoor gesing \u2013 sing wou ek sing,\u201d vertel sy. \u201cWanneer ek sing, kan ek myself wees en dit laat my goed voel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy was lank \u2019n enkelouer en het deur moeilike tye gehad. Volgens haar wou sy altyd siek mense help en het vrywillige werk gedoen en ook later haar matrieksertifikaat verwerf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk moes toe kies tussen onderwys of gesondheidsdienste en laasgenoemde is my roeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis nie altyd maklik vir vroue om \u2019n nooddienswerker te wees nie. Eers kon ek net saam in die ambulans ry, maar ek het vasgebyt en bly glo, want dit is iets wat ek voor lief is,\u201d vertel Adams terwyl haar o\u00eb ophelder van opwinding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met die inperking het Zola baie meer in haar vrye tyd begin sing. Sy s\u00ea sy het ook van haar video\u2019s op sosiale media begin deel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om \u2019n nooddienswerker te wees, moet jy \u2019n sterk persoonlikheid h\u00ea en ook emosioneel sterk wees, veral nou met die Covid-19-pandemie. \u201cEk ervaar baie trauma in my werk en moes twee jaar gelede op \u2019n toneel werk waar my eie stiefseun op die toneel gesterf het. Elke ongelukstoneel laat my aan daardie aand dink. Die vrees wat \u2019n mens ervaar, is onbeskryflik, maar dus my liefde vir my werk en my musiek wat my deurdra,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zola s\u00ea sy sing orals waar sy gaan, of daar nou pasi\u00ebnte agter saam in die ambulans ry en of dit net sy en \u2019n kollega is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy boodskap aan al ons vroue is: Dit is nooit laat om jou passie uit te leef nie. Al moet jy dit saamvoeg omdat jy te veel het, doen wat vir jou gelukkig maak,\u201d vertel sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy moedig ook ander vroue aan om te studeer as hulle kan en noem dit kom nie sonder opofferings nie, maar jy sal aan die einde van die dag beloon word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKompeteer met jouself en nie met ander nie. Wees lief vir jouself en volg jou drome.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
