Sometimes our callings only become clear later on in our lives and following them at that stage is up to us. A brave young woman Kholofelo Makofane recently shared with Facebook page Varsity World how she made the brave decision to leave her job as a bank manager to become a building science student.
"I was once an Assistant Branch Manager at Capitec Bank. After almost 5 years I decided to follow my dreams of being in construction. 2019, at the age of 29 I was a first-year Building Science student at TUT. 2020 at age 30 I was given an opportunity to do my Experiential Training at Steffanuti Stocks. 2021 at age 31, I am a final year student.
"One day I hope to tell my full story, but for now, may I inspire that person who is so afraid and is thinking they are too old to follow their dreams. One day I will be a Quantity Surveyor. One day there will be other Kholo's taking a leap of faith and accomplishing their dreams. I am Kholofelo Makofane, one day you will know my story."

The post consists of two snaps, one that shows him at the start of his venture dressed dapperly in a suit and tie as he sells his muffins on the road and the second picture is of his very own brand of muffin mixture which he had created and developed himself.
"How it started vs How it's going," he proudly captioned the snaps.
