Thirst for Knowledge 

“It is better to have big goals and not achieve them, then to have small goals and be satisfied in achieving them.’

Being goal orientated, driven and passionate can be challenging, but indeed it is highly fulfilling. Let me take some time to tell you a bit about myself. I am in my early twenties, in my final year towards a BA specializing in Communication Sciences and have many hopes and dreams for my future (God Willingly). I firmly believe in every individual being holistically educated in both their religion and academic fields.  I live amongst people who believe you have to choose one way or another and do not support my journey on pursuing both.  Yet still, I strive on everyday, with very little support and understanding, using only my goals and dreams as motivation to achieve my best.

Having big dreams will always have challenges, but it is only ones motivation and drive that can keep you on the path to righteousness, and success. As a woman, I plan on one day having kids (God Willingly) and I would love to work hard to present myself as a decent role model to them, to teach them to challenge themselves, to create a thirst for knowledge and to lead them in becoming phenomenal people in the eyes of God.

How important is the quest of knowledge to you? How hard would you strive to achieve your dreams? Would you allow people to bring you down, demotivate you or would you stand strong for what you believe in and head firmly down your path?

I grew up with a single mum who was a great role model, she showed me that women are capable of anything, that life does not stop after marriage and children and that no dream is too big or too small. These are the principles I live with, these are the principles I would one day share with my kids and these are the principles I fight for.

What are you passionate about? What makes your adrenaline pump, your mind spin and your heart beat excitedly? I have shared with you my passion for knowledge, there are many other things I am passionate about as well but now I would love to hear from you, please share your passions, experiences and challenges with me. Hopefully your experiences can help motivate others who are struggling with their paths.
