Ndingathanda ukuba sijonge imodeli elandelayo evezwe nguJoem C. Bayawa, ophumelele kwiYunivesithi yaseMiami, oku konke malunga noMichael J. Scanlon:
“Ndikhulele kumazantsi eChicago. Abazali bam babeqhawule umtshato ngoxolo kwaye sasingenamali ingako, kodwa asizange sizive sihlwempuzekile kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo babebaninzi abantu ababekwimeko embi kakhulu. I was a typical early 90's kid: bendidlala ngaphandle endaweni yangaphakathi, bendisiya epakini ukuba ndifuna ukubona abahlobo bam, ndadlala ngamatye nokungcola sakhangela iinyoka zasegadini sadlala umacashelana ngoba ukucinga bekuseyinto. isixhobo esiyimfuneko somntwana oneminyaka engama-90 ukuze wonwabe.”
UMike wayedlala umbhoxo ngelixa wayengumfundi, kwaye waba ngumphathi weklabhu. Kwakhona ndiye ndazenzela abona bahlobo basenyongweni kwanezona nkumbulo zingenakuze ndizilibale.
“Ngenye ihlobo xa ndisekhaya ndisuka eMiami, ndacelwa ukuba ndenze imodeli. Ndiyidubule kodwa ndagqiba kwelokuba ayindim, yiyo loo nto xa umfoti ogama linguJoem Bayawa endicela ukuba ndisebenze, ndala ngoxolo, kodwa eli bali liza kuqhubeka kamva. "
Kodwa ngequbuliso, uMike wala ukwamkela inkqubo yobuGqirha kwipsychology kwiYunivesithi yaseNova Southeastern eFt. Lauderdale wafudukela eBrisbane Australia ukuya kudlala umbhoxo.
“Ngexesha lam apho ndiye ndavulelwa amehlo kubuhle behlabathi, kubume bendalo entle yabantu baseOstreliya, ndadlala umbhoxo obalaseleyo, kwaye ndaba nethamsanqa ngokwaneleyo lokuba yintloko yokuziphatha kwesona siseko sikhulu sokungenelela kwangethuba kwi-autism. ilizwe. Ndandiyinxalenye yotshintsho kwiingcamango ezisiya kubungqina obusekelwe kubungqina kwaye ndandingomnye wababhali abambalwa kwikharityhulamu yabo yokungenelela kwangethuba, eyayingumsebenzi omde kakhulu wothando.”
Kwaye ke, emva kokuba ebuyile eOstreliya wagoduka waya eChicago ukuze abe kufutshane nosapho lwakhe. UMike wafumanisa ukuba unexesha elininzi elongezelelekileyo awayengazange abe nalo ngaphambili yaye “wadibana nomdlalo wokumodela owamnceda wavala elo xesha. Ndachongwa ukuba ndenze iphulo lesizwe lentengiso ye-LA Tan kwaye ndonwabe kakhulu kangangokuba ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndingazama ukwenza imodeli kanye okanye kabini ngaphezulu. Kulapho kwavela ilizwi elikhwazayo kwixesha elidlulileyo: Joem Bayawa”.
Ukusukela oko ndisebenza noJoem izinto ziye zahamba kwaye ingaphezulu kokuba ndikwazi ukuyamkela. Ndenze iifoto ezingenakubalwa, ngoku ndisebenza nee-arhente ezintathu ezahlukeneyo, ndenze imali eyaneleyo yokuhlawula i-MBA yam kwezeMali (ngoku ndikunyaka wam wokugqibela we-4.0) kwaye mna ' Ndikonwabele ngakumbi ngeli xesha.”
UMike akaziboni eyimodeli ngokwenyani okanye enenkangeleko yemodeli, okwangoku. Ndiyangxoliswa ngalo lonke ixesha ndithetha loo nto. Okwangoku, ndiyakonwabela ukukhwela kodwa ndityala imali kwimfundo yam xa lo loliwe ekugqibeleni ephumile. Mandikuxelele nangona kunjalo, yinto enye exakekileyo kodwa eyonwabisayo ebomini bam kwaye ndiyawubulela wonke umsebenzi endiwufumanayo, ukuthanda, ukuphawula, kunye nokwabelana ku-Instagram, kwaye wonke umntu obonakala eyonwabela into endinethamsanqa lokukwazi. ukwenza."
