My final year at Chief SW Nhlapho
secondary school in Dundonald, in Mpumalanga.
My school is situated in a rural area
called Dundonald, where there are big mountains, beautiful rivers, forest and
wild. Dundonald is a very good place to live in, because life is not expensive
there, people are making their own food by planting crops and doing farming. Chief
SW Nhlapho secondary school is named after the chief of the place and it is
situated next to a post office and a taxi rank. The school was established in
1994 when Nelson Madela became the first black president in South Africa and that’s
the reason why some people call it Madela. What I like about my former school
is that it is one of the best schools in Dundonald circuit and that it is using
parallel medium instruction.
I matriculated in 2014
at Chief SW Nhlapho secondary school and
was doing the following subject; Afrikaans, English, Geography, life
Orientation, life science, mathematics, physical science and siSwati. My favourite
subject was Life science, because it is all about the functioning of each part
of our body and about human evolution. My last year at school was the best year
ever and all thanks to the good teachers who made it happen for me and my
fellow mates who were so good to me.
Even though my school is located in a
rural area, they had access to technology. The teachers were using projector
during our lessons on giving us more information and in case of an emergency
they were using their cell phones. At my school we had no library and
computers, whenever we wanted to use a computer we had to go to Phumalanga Youth
Development Centre. When we were writing our final year exams one of the best
learners had won computers for the school from maths Olympiad competition. I’m
so proud of being a product of Chief SW Nhlapho secondary school and I wish for
it to continue moving forward with excellency.
It so great seeing some places still following their roots, since the school is named after the great chief of the village, seeing people not being dependent, but being the ones producing the goods in order to survive, which makes their life simple and inexpensive. Despite the fact that your school was situated in a rural area, i think it was a good school indeed, since the teachers made it by all means that even though the school was not well developed in technology, they tried by all means to provide at least more information by the projector, since you had no computer devices to find more information. Big up to Chief SW Nhlapho Secondary School.
ReplyDeleteIt was freshman year in high school at CHIEF SW NHLAPHO SECONDARY SCHOOL, and I was ecstatic about the fact that I can officially refer to myself as a high school student. However, not everything was impeccable nor filled with sunshine and rainbows. It was just a fortnight into the school year when I faced my first arduous obstruction, that was back in 2010.
ReplyDeleteI never indeed did have high school experience, sure I had a dozen or so friends, but my relationships with them lacked depth. We may have optically discerned each other on the weekends and laughed at each other’s jests, but in the cessation, it was not very paramount. We had virtually nothing in prevalence besides the fact that we attended the same school. The only reason I had made friends with them in the first place was simply out of indispensability; after all, no one wants to be that kid that sits alone at the lunch table. Had we not become friends, every one of us would have been that kid. Most of my friends weren’t academically gifted, not thru any fault of their own; after all, they were always diligent with their egos. I was a different case entirely, I had an extreme diffidence in virtually anything I had done, and they didn’t avail my situation. During my stay at high school, I never genuinely applied myself. Teachers would consistently tell me about how much my grades would amend if I attend classes customarily in body and spirit. I always shrugged them off and figured that as long as I skirt the line, I’ll be fine. I cerebrated to myself, “After all, I had passed through school all these years utilizing the same method, so why wouldn’t it work now?”
I graduated high school in record time. I was eighteen years old, and it was in the year of 2014. First-class PASS, I was majoring in science and pure mathematics.
