THE 2022 PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE #3

By Ntalo Prosper Nkuna

On the 20th of October 2022, me and my 3 classmates: Ntsako Sithole, Ntwisiso Chauke and Silaelo Tact partook on a journey to Mbilwi Secondary School at Thohoyandou.

We were excited and curious to know what was in store for us. We arrived at around 11 and the program was about to start. In the midst of the program, we were caught by surprise to see the famous Takie Ndou perform some of his songs on stage.

After he performed, the top 45 were presented and I was privileged to be number 23 in the district out of 19 030 students and number 2 in the circuit. Of all the things that were said to motivate us, I grasped one important thing that the district director said. He said that one needs to balance his life because too much of everything is not good. It’s not good to focus more on academics while neglecting other aspects of your life, similarly it’s not good to neglect your academics and focus more on other aspects of your life. Learn to exercise balance!
