MY journey through high school

My journey from secondary school to first year at Varsity 

My journey through high school was a very interesting one, I attended at Sitfokotile Secondary school in Mpumalanga in close distance to Nelspriut or know also known as Mbombela. I had great fun in high school so much so leaving was kind of sad but life had to go on. I completed my matric year in the year 2012. My motto for high school was always enjoy it and move on and I always tried to do as such when it came to my school work attending classes and the social part of being at high school.

I always told myself that to become a successful high school student there are four main aspects I had to be able to achieve; the first one is to cope with barriers and challenges that interfere with lessons and homework. Technology including, cell phones, computers, and Ipod's were main barriers that distracted students from doing schoolwork. Another challenge some students had or have is a lack of focus or a lack of teacher or administrative support. Some students in my school have poor grade twelve role models or are under peer pressure, this causes learning barriers. People and things that help along high school years are resources and allies.

In my first years of high school I  thought i had everything figured out, but sadly for me i had another thing coming with no friends in the entire school. So upon my arrival I had the task of making at most two friends by the end of the first week and also avoid being bullied that was my first mission on the first  week of high school. I made a couple of friends by the end of the first year and the rest of the four years for me where like a breeze. At grade ten i choose the subjects i had to do for the rest of my high school which were as follows Maths, Physics, Geography , English, Siswati, Life Science and life orientation I kinda enjoyed Life Science   

I made memories at high school both good and bad but I am glad to say the good  ones outweigh the bad ones. I completed my matric on the 2012 which was icing on the cake
