It was a day like any other, or so I thought. I woke up early, put on my shirt and tick-tack shoe, and headed to school for my grade 11 module. But as I walked through the gates, I could sense that something was different. There was a buzz in the air, a feeling of excitement mixed with apprehension. The day when I took my module during my grade 11 at the start of limited face to face was unforgettable. When I entered the room while it's million degrees outside, I felt a mix of nerves and anticipation. I can discern through the student's eyes of their confusion thinking that I might be their new teacher, It's probably because of my age. Those students doesn't know me yet used to greet me "good morning sir". Teachers even thought I was there new colleague saying "are you a new teacher?", I smiled back with my answer "No ma'am, I am a new student". I want to share with you the story of my journey towards education. It has not been an easy road, but it has been a rewarding one.
