Reflecting on the academic year, Timothy expressed both joy and gratitude.
“My academic year overall was very enjoyable,” he said. “I was able to experience many new things, and I am incredibly grateful for all the hard work that my ‘village’, my teachers, family, and friends put in to help me get to this point.”
Like many of his peers, Timothy faced the intense pressure that comes with the matric year. “There were moments that challenged me, especially with the large number of exams we write in matric,” he admitted. “But it taught me that success is rarely individual and is often built quietly through the support of those around you.”
