ABOUT MYSELF
My name is Glen Nhlawuleko Mthombeni.I was born in Limpopo, Giyani(ka-Mageva) in the year 2001 on the 24th of September. My gender is male and i'm a proud Tsonga(xitsonga) speaking person.I grew up playing soccer as if that was the only sport that ever existed because i grew up in a soccer loving family,rather than that i thank God for the talent because i'm also a scouted central foward midfield player of Bidvest Wits junior team at Wits Science Stadium at smurts eve in Joburg as they saw my amazing talent on display in SAFA DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE on October 2018.
I also love reading different books but mostly motivational books by Zig Ziglar(an award winning author of all time, he is also a motivational speaker and a quoter) as they drive and strengthen my ambition on a daily basis.I would say that he is more like a role model, he is the reason why i'm also a goal driven guy.im a simple person who is adorable, caring and loving.As some say "i'm fun to live with".
ABOUT MY BACKGROUND
I grew up in the villages back in Limpopo where each and everyday when you wake up it`s all about what you are going to eat for the day,sleep with an empty stomach and wake up with nothing to eat too.I grew up in a very poor family where we all depended on our father as he was the only breadwinner at home.We would go hunting for food each and every morning before we went to school, plowing each and every week hoping for rain to show up one day.sometimes we would sleep on empty stomachs.
If there was no rain and we did not go hunting it meant that there was no eating at home.We have cattle at home and it would look like we had enough food but that was not the case because there is drought in Limpopo.Grass is not there for cattle to eat.I grew up in a difficult situation, going to school with no cent in my pocket knowing very well that after school i have the responsibility to look after cattle and make sure that they are all well fed and safe at home.I would depend on feeding scheme from school for the day.
