Hoe draai \u2019n mens jou moeilike omstandighede om in iets positief? Hoe klim jy en maak dit tot bo die berge van struikel wat voor jou l\u00ea? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maklik \u2013 dit begin met \u2019n positiewe uitkyk op die lewe, glo Lu-Sheal Titus, en dis presies wat sy gedoen het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grootgeword in \u2019n eenvoudige tweevertrekhuisie met kommer oor geldsake en swaarkry is van die uitdagings wat Lu-Sheal moes te\u00ebwerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 22-jarige van Porterville het nie toegelaat dat haar omstandighede haar pootjie nie. Met \u2019n positiewe gesindheid, deursettingsvermo\u00eb en veerkragtigheid het sy haar driejaar-kursus in finansi\u00eble en risikobestuur by die Kaapse Skiereiland Universiteit van Tegnologie se Distrik 6-kampus voltooi en haar diploma by die gradeplegtigheid verlede Maandag (22 April) ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lu-Sheal het nie soos ander matrikulante die voorreg gehad om n\u00e1 haar matriek\u00adeindeksamen \u2019n bietjie haar skoene uit te skop en te ontspan terwyl sy op haar uitslae gewag het nie. Sy moes inspring en die familie help om die pot aan die kook te hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy moes douvoordag saam met haar ma die pad vat om op \u2019n boer se plaas te gaan werk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn Porterville is dit partykeer so intens warm dat ek dikwels wou tou opgooi en soms gewonder het hoekom God my hierdeur sit,\u201d vertel Lu-Sheal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die swaarkry was egter haar dryfkrag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het probeer positief kyk na als. Die klein huis het gemaak dat familietyd meer kosbaar geword het; die dinge wat ek graag wou koop of gedink het is nodig, was glad nie so broodnodig nie \u2013 I survived without it<\/span>. Ek dink om jou ingesteldheid te verander en hoe jy na dinge kyk, help so baie. En ek glo dis wat my gehelp het \u2013 om nie toe te laat dat dinge my onderkry nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n In die klein huisie het die kombuistafel oor die jare haar beste vriend geword. \u201cWant sien, by hierdie tafel word gekook, ge\u00ebet, gebid, geskryf en dikwels gehuil ook.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lu-Sheal se studiejare was \u2019n rollercoaster ride, soos sy dit beskryf, maar tog die moeite werd. \u201cDaar was dae dat ek net wou opgee, want niks wou regkom nie. Die werk het moeilik gevoel, die koskaste was leeg en ek het geweet ek kon nie juis huis toe bel vir hulp nie, want net my pa het die meeste kere gewerk, en hulle moes ook eet en oorleef. Ja, my ouers het altyd gehelp wanneer ek gevra het, maar ek sou liewer stilbly as om hulp te vra.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n Haar groot droom is om eendag \u2019n entrepreneur te word, maar sy sal enige kantoorwerk waardeer as die geleentheid haar aangebied word om verder te groei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lu-Sheal sien haarself in die toekoms as \u2019n gelukkige vrou \u2013 gevestig en finansieel vry. \u201cEk wil leef sonder om te stres hoe ek vir iets moet betaal. Ek wil graag \u2019n besigheid of twee van my eie bestuur, as dit die Here se wil is, natuurlik. Ek wil \u2019n beter lewe vir my familie ook voorsien.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lu-Sheal herinner almal om God eerste te stel in alles wat hulle aanpak. \u201cMoet nooit moed verloor en ophou hard werk nie. Dinge kan en gaan soms moeilik word, maar hou goeie moed en bly gefokus op dit waarna jy streef; jy gaan uiteindelik daar uitkom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Al het Lu-Sheal in \u2019n eenvoudige tweevertrek-huisie grootgeword, was dit \u2019n huis vol liefde, ondersteuning en motivering. Haar lewe is \u2019n getuienis dat niks ontmoontlik is nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hoe draai \u2019n mens jou moeilike omstandighede om in iets positief?

\n Toe dit begin lyk asof sy haar droom om n\u00e1 skool te gaan studeer eers opsy sou moes skuif, het \u2019n deur vir haar oopgegaan toe sy \u2019n beurs van die Weskus-distriksmunisipaliteit vir haar eerste studiejaar ontvang het. Sy was uit die veld geslaan toe sy as een van vyf belowende studente \u2019n R10 000-beurs van die Kuier-<\/span>tydskrif ontvang het om vir haar eerstejaar-studies aan te wend. <\/span>
\n <\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n \u201cDankbaarheid is wat ek toe gevoel het, en daai geld het so baie gehelp, want ek kon my ouers met dinge in die huis help, ek kon my boetie en sussie bederf en ook handboeke vir my studies koop. Daai beurs het dinge soveel makliker gemaak as \u2019n eerstejaarstudent wat nog haar voete moes vind.\u201d<\/span>
\n <\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Lu-Sheal kon uiteindelik <\/span>
\n <\/span>
\n
\n die res van haar studies met behulp van <\/span><\/span>\u2019n NSFAS-beurs <\/span><\/span>voltooi. <\/span>
\n <\/span>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Deur alles waardeur Lu-Sheal is, kan sy met trots getuig dat haar familie haar grootste ondersteuners was en steeds is. <\/span>
\n <\/span>\u201cEk dank net Pappa Jesus dat Hy ons aan mekaar toevertrou het, want ek kon nie vir beter vra nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
