My Younger Self Series – Shelton

It always seems impossible until it’s done

Dear Younger Shelton,

I know life seems like a long road right now, filled with questions and uncertainty. But trust me, every step you take, every lesson you learn, is preparing you for something greater. One day, the boy walking the corridors of Sango Primary School and later Sikalame Secondary School will become a man who drives not just vehicles, but also his own destiny.

You will work hard to gain skills, starting with obtaining your driving license at Prince Driving School. At times, the journey may feel slow, and the responsibilities heavy, but every mile you cover, every challenge you face, will build your discipline, patience, and reliability.

From being a security guard to supervising a team at Lavington Security Company, you will learn leadership, vigilance, and how to protect and care for others. You will deliver documents, transport goods safely, and mentor staff as a driver at reputable companies. Through it all, your commitment to punctuality, integrity, and excellence will shine.

You will realize that success is not only about titles or salary, but about being dependable, responsible, and trusted by those around you. You will see that your work matters, that your dedication brings safety, comfort, and peace to others.

So, young Shelton, remember: embrace discipline, respect the rules, care for people, and never stop learning. One day, you will look back and be proud of the man you’ve become — skilled, respected, and steadfast.

Keep driving forward. Your journey has only just begun.

With love and gratitude,
Your future self,
Shelton Makhapila
