Leaving as a Changed Person – Nyasha Rukweza

Words cannot explain how overwhelmed I feel for completing my 3 years at African Christian College. Leaving home and going to a foreign country is never easy. Often, we hear about people getting trafficked for various reasons and, to be honest, that is what I thought was going to happen to me. Upon arrival I wondered if I was going to last for even a month here at African Christian College.

I am not ashamed to boldly say that African Christian College has moulded me into a fully equipped young woman who is ready to take on the world. I believe that I have become a better person academically and otherwise. I have also grown as a human being who can take responsibility for her own life and actions. I believe I am going to help other people and serve the Lord in many other ways. I have a firm belief that we were all created for a purpose, and this is the beginning of my journey of living out that purpose.

I am very grateful for my achievement because I feel like I have worked hard to get where I am. Juggling both work on the farm to pay my fees and also the academic work was not easy. I At some points I got tired and wanted to stop, but I reminded myself that I was doing this for God. I am also grateful for the friends and family I have made here; they were one of the greatest things to happen to me. They taught me to love despite differences in our culture or language. I am leaving here a different person than I was when I came.
