This is what they had to say …
JOSHUA WARD: It’s good to push yourself, but it’s also important to step back and make sure you’re okay. So my advice is to put your health and happiness before academics.IMOGEN CAPEL: I gave this advice to my little sister – it’s important to find a balance between academics and being mentally okay. You should engage in different activities and sports.TSHIMO BOIKHUTSO: My advice is to stay focused on your goals – like my mom says, ‘keep your eye on the ball’ but also remember to make friends with people who will support you.SHOLA ADELUSI: I would say don’t be intimidated by the size of your school!
