Kutlwano Mokgosi, top achiever at Ferndale High School. She received 5 distinctions.
She writes:
I was firstly disappointed because I thought I could have done better but as time went by, I realised that I achieved a lot. I am grateful to God, and I am happy that my mother is proud as that was my biggest mission.
For the preparations for the exams, it was not easy, but it was all about putting all of my time into it. I had to cut off a lot of things that were not purposeful in my life– like watching YouTube and being with friends. I had to prioritise school because I wanted to achieve great results and make my mother proud. To prepare I had to go through a lot of past papers and worked hard on things I was lacking, and I also troubled my teachers to make sure I improved.
This year I am looking forward to the whole university experience. I am an introverted person so being able to be out on my own is something I am looking forward to experiencing and also thriving independently.
