Story of Blessing

Blessing (name changed, he wants to stay anonymous) was born as a 4^th child in a family in 1979, where were already 2 boys and one girl. He still got one brother later on. They lived in Glenora, which is a poor area.

Unfortunately when Blessing was five years old his father passed away. Mother was left with 5 children and the struggle how to survive. She was a vendor, selling tomatoes, until she got a job from the city counsil. They survived, Blessing was able to go to school and he did well there. Their mom always told them, that doing well school will help them to survive better.

And Blessing did. He was always in top 3 of the students in the class. He continued also for A-levels (Advanced) and did well in that too. He studied for a degree in Accounting and Law with the University of London through distance learning from Harare.

His first job was an accountant but quite soon he was promoted to a company secretary as he had also studied law. He is not working in that company anymore.

Now he has his own company with his brother. They have an Advertising Agency. His brother did communications in the university, so they are a good team. They do well. Blessing also has some kombi bus business, which is very good here in Harare.

Blessing never married, instead he travelled lot, lived in many places too, but wants to live in Zimbabwe. He said his heart is here and here he wants to live. Now he lives in a 3 bedroom flat as a bachelor, drives a very nice car and is doing well in life. He's been staying healthy as well as his family, but if something comes, he is secured, he can afford health care.

All is well with him at the moment and let's hope all will stay well too. Very good story of how education helps you to prosper.
