My name is Kamogelo Koporo Ledwaba, and I am from Zebediela, Polokwane in Limpopo. I come from a community that taught me the value of perseverance, humility, and hard work from a young age. Growing up, I always believed that education would be my key to creating a better future for myself and those around me.
Work Experience
*Before getting my internship, I had no prior work experience. Like many graduates, this was one of my biggest challenges. It sometimes felt discouraging to apply for opportunities without experience, but I did not allow that to stop me. Instead, I focused on what I had—my qualification, willingness to learn, and determination to grow.
Why Bachelor of Commerce in Accountancy
I studied at the University of Limpopo, where I completed a Bachelor of Commerce in Accountancy. I chose to study Accountancy because I have always been interested in numbers, problem-solving, and understanding how businesses operate financially. I also knew that accounting skills are in high demand and can open many doors in different industries. Although the journey was not always easy, I stayed committed to my studies and reminded myself why I started.
Internship
I was fortunate to get my internship through TalentSA. This opportunity means a lot to me because it represents my first step into the professional world. I am truly excited and grateful for the chance to gain practical experience, apply what I studied, and develop new skills in a real working environment.
Company
I am currently working as a finance intern, and the experience so far has been both challenging and rewarding. I am learning every day, gaining confidence, and building a strong foundation for my career. The company has given me exposure, support, and the opportunity to grow professionally.
My journey has taught me that starting with no experience does not mean you cannot succeed. With patience, consistency, and the right support, opportunities do come. I hope my story encourages other students and graduates to keep pushing forward, believe in themselves, and never give up on their dreams.
