Bio
I am 21 years old studying an Honours in Development studies at UCT. I enjoy reading, travelling and learning as much as I can from books and others.
I was a tutor for a leadership course at Rhodes for two years ( 2016 and 2017). I was community engagement rep at my residence at Rhodes and helped establish a pad drive and raise money for disadvantaged students studying at the university. I am currently raising money for a Cape Town NGO called The Big Issue. I think I am great at helping others because I am compassionate and patient.

Subjects
English
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI have always been passionate about English and I am a voracious reader. I particularly enjoy creative writing and have kept a journal since grade 8. In my Matric year, I won the editor's cup at my school for creative writing.
Art History
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI did art for my entire high school career and received 99 % on my prelim paper for art history. I often sketch in my free time and I am particularly adept at sketching with pen. I have never gotten less than a distinction for art history.
History
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI have always been fascinated by History and always received distinctions at school .I also received above 70% quite regularly when I took it for a year at university. I am particularly adept at African but specifically South African history.
Geography
Grade 1 - Grade 12 NSCI always received distinctions in Geography throughout high school and I attribute that largely to my passionate teacher who always managed to keep me enthralled . In Matric, I was also in the top 3 for Geography at my valediction.
Mathematics
Grade 1 - Grade 8 NSCAlthough I did not get a distinction in Matric, I received distinctions up to grade 9. This was as a result of my own hard work and the breaking down of concepts to make them easier to understand for myself, someone who wasn't naturally good at Math.
Philosophy
First Year - Third Year Third YearI studied Philosophy for three years and always received above 70. I often find that Philosophy can be quite dense so I like to break it down into simpler arguments in order to understand it.
