Being a teacher would certainly make my parents proud; I’ll be the first in our family to go beyond Standard Six and hold a profession. Skoonfontein Farm has never produced a school teacher: so, I’ll be leading the way. It is renowned for having ‘out-of-school-children’, or school drop-outs. I hope the farm labourers’ community will one day know about my achievements. This thought comforts and encourages me. I work very hard, getting the best grades in all my subjects. Music is my favourite. Is it because the music tutor is friendly? The music period is on Friday before lunch. I sing first soprano in the college-choir. I like ‘The Hallelujah Chorus’ from the Messiah; we also sing ‘The Goslings’. My worst subject is cursive handwriting. Oh my God, I struggle with this! My letters are uneven. I just can’t get the right letter size. On this day, I watch Mrs Stone through the corner of my left eye, walking between the rows checking on every trainee’s chalkboard, ensuring the correct handwriting movement.
