A thread. #
People think moving to the US is difficult but it’s way easier than you think. The best way is to go via the student way

One thing I learnt was that in a foreign land, choices are few no matter how qualified you may be. If you find a niche in a certain area stick to that and make less zimbo friends🙌🏾🙌🏾those people will destroy you if not careful

Resigned from my job as a civil servant Dec 2019, went to SA to look for a job. 2020 covid hit and couldn’t do anything. Learnt quickly how to operate chainsaws and became a contractor😂 Nhamo🙌🏾🙌🏾
Business wasn’t sustainable as we would go for days with no jobs

NEVER TRUST A ZIMBO IN A FOREIGN LAND (based on my own experience)
If you have read my Joni experience before, you would know the line of work that i was doing Joni. We started of as amateurs but the zeal to succeed led us to put in the work as needed. Tree cutting is not safe,

Months later we had saved enough for a bigger machine. As much as we got the jobs, it wasn’t sustainable for the long run as we lived from hand to mouth. At one time we would struggle to pay rent only for God to provide a day before it was due🙌🏾🙌🏾. After buying the other machine

So as i have previously said, we grew up ku Glen Norah and tiri boys from around 2006 after parents passed. Blaz took up the role of the breadwinner and the family head. isu we had not fully matured and he had to make sure we quickly mature.

From there things started changing and the other guy was now asking why I wasn’t calling him for jobs 😂😂 just showed him the machine i had bought and he was like hope you know what you’re doing hahah. Tree cutting is a dangerous job and many have died because of it.

As soon as we got the machine, it was busy. I wasn’t experience yet thrown in the deep end. Was supposed to fall these big gum trees which were located close to electric wires. Hustled it through applying what i saw and miraculously, we finished the job with no incident

I wasn’t allowed to touch machine, the only time I did touch was when I’ll top up petrol and oil. Being me I observed how the work was done. Jobs were coming here and there and we survived. December came and leave was over, I tendered my resignation with immediate effect

One friday, a white guy came and we negotiated a good job, still with no machine I negotiated with the guy to pay me a deposit and he agreed. I only asked for money that was enough to but the smallest chainsaw yet effective. I had vowed not to call that guy or work with him again

Tried hustling for jobs but it was fruitless. Lockdown came and we stayed home with nothing and luckily my brother was allowed to work, it was a good relief. An opening came and we could go to work, started marketing dzangu and still was by myself and a friend who left zim also

Work progressed well until towards Christmas. The guy i was working with i guess had money for Christmas and wanted to groove mu kasi. That meant no going ku market for me-as i had no machines to display. Year was cut short and we survived through the end of the month.

Those asking how i did it, simple
Cutoff useless sadza and white rice.
Drink loads of water( i drink more than 2 gallons a day. But be assured of bathroom visits every 15-20 mins)
Walk, i set a target of 5 miles everyday
Consistency
This is my car everyday

the first thing is to know the program you wanna do. after that, search for colleges that offer the kind of program you want to do. when doing that, look for colleges with a lower tuition. You will be shocked that there are alot of affordable colleges in USA than we think

First experience with snow was at the Grand Canyon in December, didn’t witness the falling but the temperature was not for my liking, today witnessed it falling and I can safely say this weather is not for me 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Not common for snowfall this part of Cali🥸🥸

How i did it😊
First be intentional about this journey.
Cut off all white processed foods (sadza, white rice, white bread etc)
Cut or on sugar
Drink lots of water (i drink more than 5lt) be prepared to go ku toilet
Brisk walking
This is my experience may be different to others

when you find the college suitable for you, make sure your documents are in order before you start the process (soft scanned copies) because you will need to upload them during the application process. if you are undergraduate, prepare ma high school papers including id, passport
