Three years have flown by, and I am proud to share that I have officially completed my undergraduate degree (BCom in Marketing and tourism Management sciences )@ North-West University .
Looking back, I started as a confused first-year student who had applied for a BSc in Biochemistry and Microbiology and finally got accepted for a marketing and tourism degree unsure of where I truly belonged. But life has a way of redirecting us toward our passions. I discovered my love for Marketing and Tourism during my first year, 2nd semester, and from that moment, everything changed.
From Uncertainty to Excellence
• I embraced the challenges of shifting fields and built confidence in my new path.
• I excelled academically while also making a difference through peer mentoring and student empowerment.
• I turned passion into purpose, contributing to the growth of others while growing myself.
Tasks Accomplished & Lessons Learned
• Hosting sessions and planning events to support first-year students in navigating campus life.
• Guiding peers through resources like the library, counselling, tutoring, and academic advising.
• Building resilience, leadership, and creativity through every challenge faced.
