When we are younger we all have an idea of what we want to become when we are older and out of school. Some people choose to be Doctors, Fire Fighters and or Journalists.
Ever since I was 8 years old, all I wanted to be was a professional tennis player, people even used to say I looked like I was related to Roger Federer… if that’s not a sign then I don’t know what is. I did everything it took to be a professional, I had coaching lessons from a variety of different coaches, even one that used to be a professional tennis player and I entered into a lot of SATA (South African Tennis Association) tournaments . When I got to high school I realised that I needed to do more, so I enrolled in a tennis academy in Potchefstroom called RVTA where I was coached by the best of the best. We played 6 hours of tennis a day and 2 of those hours were dedicated to fitness and ice bathing.
After 6 months of being at the tennis academy, I realised that being a professional tennis player is not what I was meant to become because I really battled while I was there as it was very tough and takes a lot of dedication, I now play tennis for fun.
When I got back to my old school Lonehill Academy, I realised that I had a passion for writing. I am not the type of person who can write a novel and be the next Nora Roberts, but if you give me someone to interview and write an article about, I can definitely do that, I now write articles for my estates newsletter. Journalism was my true dream career, however I unfortunately did not get the grades to be able to study Journalism. I wasn’t really happy that I couldn’t study and so my mom gave me the idea to start this blog and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I developed a different type of passion for dancing when I signed up for ballroom lessons. I thoroughly enjoyed my time doing ballroom dancing and learnt a lot about the different dances, other people and myself, but for various reasons, it was time to move on and so my mom had the idea of me doing contemporary dancing and I am very passionate about contemporary, I basically owe all of my success to my mom. We even have our own business together called Color Wave, where we sell Diamond Painting and are hoping to expand our products, the link to our online catalogue is https://colour-waves.com
The point I am trying to make in this post is that, if your dream something, you can do it…. sometimes you just need to use a bit of imagination in order to get there.
What are your dreams ?
