So i spent 18 days of this year waiting for my matric results. Few days after I got my results, the universities started to send emails and it’s funny how those emails made me lose hope. I had a plan but my plan just vanished right in front of my face. In many institutions I wasn’t accepted because of space. Even though I was accepted at UJ poverty knocked and I wasn’t able to pay the registration fee so I took a deep breath and accepted that I’ll be studying next year for the course I want. Well i could say that this gap year helped me to realize my mistakes and learn from them.
