I got accepted into HONORS PSYCHOLOGY

Okay so those that don’t know I was originally accepted into honors already this year in South Africa for International Relations, I never applied for psychology in South Africa.

I had applied in other countries for psychology. 

However personal reasons did not allow me to start in March to do my honors and I was very very disappointed. Reason being this is what I have planned ever since I started my undergraduate degree.

However God had other plans I guess.

Honestly I was so sad, because I’ve always known what I want to do with my career and not been able to fulfill it was very heart breaking. It was like wasting my time not fulfilling what I had to fulfill. 

I missed the little things such as learning about the subject, studying ,setting my timetable, writing tests and exams.

It might sounds weird to others but I do love education. I’ve always enjoyed studying. 

And this is the best news God could have ever  given me this year. I remember putting this together on my vision board in January and being able see this come forth is just so amazing. 

You know how frustrating it is when you know what you want but you cannot seem to get it. You honestly give up, you feel like maybe you are not meant to do this.

I was really frustrated and unhappy as I knew I was not fulfilling my purpose. 

But I kept praying, fasting and I spend a lot of nights praying in tongues asking God for help because I did not know what to do.

God kept giving me the same answer through different people. The people I was close to I kept telling them how I felt and not sure if I would get accepted because I declined my initial acceptance in March. But they told me “ontha just apply ,there is always a way”

Then when I applied for wits they were giving me problems because I studied internationally I needed to verify my qualification through saqa. I could not get a hold of wits, it took a whole week to get a hold of them. 

Then after a week I have not heard anything from saqa I had to call their head office just to get someone to help me verify my application on time.

Then the other university I went to was on strike when I went there ,no one was able to help me. So I gave up. 

Omg I went through a lot so it was very demotivating and emotional exhausting. 

So you can see I had reasons on feeling like giving up. 

When I applied to another university they said my application was rejected because there was no proof of my qualification so I had to get a half day at work just to go to the university to hand in my application can you imagine that ? 

Later during that day I got an email saying “ Dear Miss Sekano it gives me great pleasure to inform you that you have been offered a space to register for bachelor of psychology honors “ 

But Goooooooooodddddddddd!!! Hahhhhh!!! Common somebody!!! God knew what he was doing. 

For those that do not know , my career goal is becoming a neuropsychologist.

So in order to become one you have to complete your honors which is 1 year and masters which is 2 years (which includes a 12 month internship and a 12 month community service) then after that I have to write a board exam then after writing it I have to register through HPCSA.So it truly is a long journey. Masters in total leads up to 3 years.

So in total I have to be studying 7 years to be a neuro psychologist.

So finally getting into honors makes it so real. I am one step closer to becoming Dr Onthatile Sekano hah!!!!!!!!!

Arg I could cry. God I thank you!! This year honestly you have seriously showed yourself in so many ways. There is no way I can say I do not believe in you.

I am so thankful. You knew how dear to my heart this was and I thank you😭

That’s all for now my sunflowers 🌻 

Have a blessed blessed week
