Matric exams a time to show fruits of hard work throughout the year

-

Good luck to all the 2017 matric students who will be sitting for their year-end examinatio­ns all across South Africa.

This is the most important time of your schooling days and, surely, you’ve been eagerly waiting for it.

You worked hard throughout the year and the moment has finally arrived. This is the time to show how prepared you are. It is time to show that hard work pays off. All your hard work will now be judged here.

But, if you still have some work to cover, it is never too late. Maybe that work is key to the world of your desires.

Your life starts here. A good matric pass may not necessaril­y mean you will automatica­lly go places but it means your life is in line for success. After all, matric is not everything but it certainly unlocks the door to the next level of life.

Your parents may not have money to send you to the institutio­n of your dreams but remember that an excellent pass will qualify you for financial aid such as a bursary.

A good Samaritan could also come your way.

Remember again to make the right career choice that will present you with many opportunit­ies when you start looking for a job.

I’m looking forward to seeing your names in the matric results in the newspapers later in the year.
