Kgomotso Christopher has never been shy of talking about her life struggles. She has had to work her way up from the bottom, and get to where she is.
For her, her life came together after she turned 30, even though many of her friends were flourishing by then.
"My life started in my 30s… had lived and worked in New York and London until this age. I had to start at the bottom. Having left SA the year I got my drivers' at 20 I had to learn how to drive a car again. (I was) jobless. I had a four week old baby and (another) 22-month-old," Kgomotso wrote on Twitter.
Through it all, she realized that there is no fixed age to achieve your dreams.
Kgomotso is currently considering taking a Ph.D.
You're never too old to achieve your dreams…at that age, people were laughing that I had Masters' degree from Ivy league varsity in the US, yet I was jobless
. Last week, I was crazy enough to start looking up Ph.D programmes. Don't let others 'confirm' u, as MaBrr would say.https://t.co/J5uPdQQL60

All the best lady. You will be fine. It's not easy to see the sunshine when the clouds are covering it…but it doesn't mean the sun is no longer there. Your sunshine days will come too. In the meantime…hold on to your dreams…hard as it may seem
