One of my most cherished memories revolves around the meaningful relationships I've cultivated with people who helped me discover more about myself. While many of these connections brought joyous moments, there are a few standout experiences I hold dear. Firstly, I recall the security personnel, with whom I formed a unique bond. I made a bet with two of them, promising to complete my degree in record time. Remarkably, I fulfilled that promise, thanks in part to their support and encouragement. Another significant encounter was with Mr. Jan Syman, whose resemblance to my late father struck me deeply. From his manner of speaking to his aura and demeanour, he exuded qualities that reminded me of my father. Though I never explicitly mentioned it to him, Mr. Jan Syman's life lessons and empowering messages over the four years I've known him have been profoundly inspiring. He not only imparted wisdom but also reignited the teachings my father instilled in me before his passing. I carry these invaluable lessons with me wherever I go. Lastly, sharing the same campus as my niece, Tshiamo has been a source of joy and pride. I hope that my journey inspires her greatly, and I eagerly anticipate witnessing her walk across the stage at her graduation ceremony next year.
