Have you ever felt like you need to do the next big thing? Like you need to go big or not live at all, I know I have. In a generation that feeds on status and popularity, where our success is defined by the next big thing you can do. I believe there is nothing wrong with being great and there is a good amount of pressure required to create anything.

“Every decision you make today will have a lasting influence on how you will live your life in the future,” Mother said. It was in my early childhood when my Mother told me this bold statement. I have always thought it is normal to forget some of the things our parents told us, especially when we were young.

The fact is I really do not like the South African educational system, or I am just angry because I suck at using the information and the tools it gives me. But one way or the other, I am either 100% wrong, or 100% right but I will let you decide after you are done reading my experience and my thoughts on our educational system.

A story of how I went from UCT-Africa’s leading institution, to redo my matric, a downgrade according to many. I vividly recall how a concerned friend of mine cautioned me against the move, just like everyone’s story is complex and multi-layered, so is mine.
