Sad things
are about to happen. I’m leaving home for varsity and it’s quite scary but what
is most scary is that varsity is a whole different world than high school
because I have been to boarding school before but then we were still innocent
and ready to meet new people. I remember my first day in boarding school there
was this social network that was still the in thing in my early teens and it
was Mxit, it was my whole world I had been bought a phone in grade7 so that was
my main focus in boarding school, the first day our boarding mistress welcomed us I was probably on my phone that’s one of things you don’t want to
do in boarding school is to show everyone your new bought phone because a lot of
people didn’t have cell phones that could chat and me being a person that can’t
say no I ended up having to borrow a lot of people my phone that wasn’t the
problem the problem was when I got called to the principal’s office and didn’t
know why, when I got there I found out that my number had sent a message to one
of the boys in school saying that I was pregnant and his mother reported this
being an African raised child I wasn’t used to have to look an adult in the eye
but according to the Caucasians the only reason a person doesn’t look someone in
the eye is when they are lying so my
phone was confiscated for two terms and my parents couldn’t trust me again. When I got
back my phone the usually continued I shared it with everybody else and
to make matters worse it died I don’t know what happened when someone was using
and they brought it back only for me to find out that it didn’t work anymore. I
had to tell my parents but I didn’t know how. I thanked my sister for not
telling them that almost everyone was using it. When I finally told my dad he
received the news better than I had thought but the worst was still to come for
me because after that I stayed without a phone for a year. I know that won’t
happen this time because I have a crappy phone but how would I be able to say
no with my laptop and if I get a camera (I pray I get a camera) how will I say
not with it too. I have to learn to be responsible or I am going to end gadget
less and sad while everyone else is enjoying their blackberries. Wednesday, 30 January 2013
