“There were many periods of self-doubt and insecurities but I think getting the results back was the biggest relief. My plan going forward is mainly self-improvement and going to university.

“I am thinking of a university in Hong Kong or the United Kingdom, but I think since school in both countries starts in September. I will use these nine months to learn some life skills, improve myself, and mentally prepare myself for the adult world,” said Junhe.

Shalin attained seven distinctions in eight subjects and said he felt proud because he put in a lot of hard work and had to miss out on so much in life.

“It paid off in the end and will pay off in the long term. My chosen university is the University of Pretoria. I got conditionally accepted to study computer engineering because ever since I was a baby, computers have been my life and love,” he concluded.
