The 2020 matric learner said her parents have given her life lessons that she will use. “I honestly don’t think I would’ve come this far without the life lessons my parents have taught me. Things like time management, hard work, balance and persistence. These are important skills to have to grow to our full potential. “They taught me to have vision and determination to give my all in everything I do. The support my family gives, along with these skills, motivates me to succeed in everything I do,” said Marika.

She will be enrolling for a bachelor’s in physiotherapy. She then plans to obtain Master’s degree part-time whilst working. “I can’t believe my school career has come to an end. Being an adult seems so strange. The time I’ve been a Hoërskool Elspark learner has been one of the best times of my school career. I’ve made some incredible friends and met some of the most passionate educators I know. They made me feel welcomed and most importantly, they made me feel at home,” said Marika.
