Either it’s day one or one day, says Grade 12 learner

Grade 12 learner Ighsaan Simms writes:

Dermatology is medicine that deals with diseases that affect the skin, hair and nails. I became inspired and intrigued by watching Dr Pimple Popper on the television.

My main focus remains helping people but more importantly, I want to help people feel more comfortable in their own skin. I would love for them to embrace their skin, and also help people feel a bit more confident wearing their skin.

But I might also go into dentistry because I like to put a smile on people’s faces and there is no greater joy than making people smile. Helping to fix their teeth and get their desired smile would help them to have a bright future. In a sense, a smile is everything and allows people to express themselves without being shy.

These are just a few things that I love and am passionate about.
A philosophy I live by is ‘Either it’s one day or it’s day one’. I have chosen day one because I refuse to let distractions stop me from reaching my goals.

I also urge the youth to put their distractions aside and hope for the best.
