WHO I AM:
I love feelings. I may have mentioned this before, but I feel the sudden urge to repeat it. I don’t think in all honesty that you want to be subjected to my random bursts of joy. It’s just my duty to let you know that your money is being well invested. I am so grateful for the scholarship that the Kay Mason Foundation has granted me that my goal is to ensure that I do the best that I can to ensure that your money is well spent.
So this term started off on a very newish note. My mind was relatively clear and open, which is surprisingly unnatural. My first highlight was when I tutored a friend of mine and he upped his physics mark to 80%. This made me very happy indeed!
We had a sports day and it was so much fun. It was hot though, and my face was burnt to a crisp, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Then the exams started and the pressure mounted, which was not a good thing. But we have to experience these low lights to feel the awesomeness that comes with the high ones.
I started guitar lessons and had so much fun. I am progressing at an alarming rate. I love music, it’s a new love that has spread like wildfire over my soul. It’s just so rampant.
I started a society at school and our constitution is halfway to authentic and formal. Politics and the plight of our struggling people is another one of my passions. Second to feeling, no third to dancing.
These reports are always a challenge as I find it hard to articulate these feelings to you, but you understand that’s what you want or at least what I want.
At least the greatest thing about this term is that it’s over and I am one step closer to discovering myself and changing the world. School is another aspect of my life that you happened to fund. I am very appreciative.
Thank you. All my love. peace, love and light.
LATEST NEWS:
The second term of school has been particularly unnerving. This is probably because it was the last second term of my school career and I’ll never really get that back……….ever! I enjoyed things more for some reason.
This year, I looked at my future and I saw that after school I’d probably go on to study, get a job, get married, work some more, retire and then die. No matter how I looked at it, the destination was death. It was in that moment that I decided to make the journey count, and follow my dream. I still worked equally as hard and obtained 90% for mathematics and A+ for my extra subject: History. I’ve decided to study drama at the University of Cape Town next year. It took a while for me to realize that “where my treasure lies there too lies my heart’, so this decision was a big one for me. And for someone as indecisive as I am, this was a great accomplishment.
Studying has taken up so much of my time that I barely have time to breathe. Thankfully I make it through each day gracefully or so I like to believe. Mock exams are fast approaching and it scares me just thinking about it. It’s all happening so quickly….
This too shall pass! In attempt to make my dream more real, I attended the UCT Winter Drama Workshop. Here I learnt how to be dramatic on demand. This was harder than I expected, I am so excited!
I have recently discovered the importance of networking and I am embarking on a search to make connections. As a result I’ve met new people, in higher places, that share similar interests in music, politics and other art forms. One day my resources will be useful. I enjoy this thoroughly. My holidays have definitely been busy and exciting (i.e. Winter School and our Matric Dance) I certainly know now how to appreciate the virtues of relaxation.
Once again I’d like to extend my gratitude to the KMF team. Always making sure that our every need is met. Also to the donors, it is said that the most humble question one can ask is “what more can I do for the world”? Trust that you’ve done plenty! Your investment will grow into tomorrow’s life and it will never stop growing. Thank you.
I’ve adopted a new motto: When you lose, don’t lose the lesson!
A grateful KMF recipient.
