Sawbona !
Wondering what Saw-bona is ? Well thats just a little introduction to who I am.
My name is Nonhle ( sorry, I can't help you with pronunciation on here ) but I do go by Nonny which makes MY life easier. I am 24, and I am an international student from Durban, South Africa. I speak 3 languages fluently but I understand 5. I have been In the States for two years going on three this year and I have been living in Frisco, Texas for 1 year. I am the oldest of 6, I have 4 sisters and 1 brother who is 5.
Hobbies and Aspirations
I have been learning quite a lot of new things about myself, so far I've learned that the older I get the more I want to be at home so now I identify as a certified homebody who only likes to go out on cool adventures , like hanging out with an elephant or cheetah . I can be a very good cook when I'm in the mood to cook, I am not a TV person but I do enjoy a good 8-season TV show, talking about TV shows, I like a really good murder mystery. I enjoy time spent with family, the holiday season is my favourite time of the year. I recently developed some new skills like I can now braid my hair ( Thank you to Youtube and TikTok) and I have also started a small business braiding hair for extra cash, I'm pretty good at it now. I am definitely a person who loves to build on their skills.
Skills And Accomplishments
Being the oldest has definitely sharpened my soft skills . I am quiet at first glance but as you get to know me you will learn that I am a great communicator and I have pretty great leadership skills . I love taking things apart and trying to fix them. I really enjoy putting furnituire together . I do not have professional repairing skills but I am excited to learn .
I I have a Bachelors Degree in Tourism Management obtained from the University of South Africa. Towards the end of my previous degree, I had what I call a mid-college crisis. I decided I didn't want to pursue a career in the tourism industry any more and I want to do something I am passionate about and will bring fulfillment to my life. Working and studying have opened my eyes and expanded my mind to want more than a high-paying career, I choose peace! Now I'm just stuck between being a housewife and being an Entrepreneur a.k.a Boss lady .
