Gratitude

Last weekend I watched a movie called Flight starring Denzel Washington as a pilot. Flight is gripping but takes longer getting to the point –which was alcohol addiction that Whip (Washington) was struggling with.  

The interesting part for me was at the end when Whip’s son had an essay to write. The title was “The most fascinating people you have ever met”. He chose to write about his father. The title got me thinking about the most fascinating people I have ever met. My friends are very fascinating but Irvine Makuyana stood out the most.

Makuyana is a political journalist at The New Age. This man has an opinion about everything but it’s no surprise because he is a product of Political Sciences.

When I wrote an essay on Youth Leagues, Agencies and Subsidies, I just had to get his thoughts on the subject. The essay was an assignment for graduates who had an interest in applying for an internship at Avusa Media. When my lecturer read the essay she couldn't stop complimenting Makuyana’s opinions.

The essay got me an interview at Avusa Media. Although I didn't get the job, now I’m clear about what I’m about. I discovered that I like writing about politics.
