I want to thank a lot of people that helped me and supported me during my school career and made it possible for me to achieve the marks that I did. My parents were really supportive during my matric year and especially through the exams, always being there if I needed encouragement to keep on studying for those last few papers. I had the privilege of being in an amazing school – Point High School in Mossel Bay, in the Western Cape – with dedicated teachers that prepared us so well for the November exams. My teachers really put a lot of effort in to prepare us the best they possibly could and I am really grateful for that. Point High School also gave me so many opportunities to make great memories and friends that I love dearly and will remember fondly for the rest of my life. Besides all the people that encouraged me, I think the most important part of achieving academically lies in the hard work you put in. I am a hardworking person that always tries to give my best in whatever I do and I always try to compete only against myself and not other people.
