Today we meet Sisipho from Johannesburg:
 

1)      Tell us who you are and where you're from, and where you are staying currently, Who do you live with and where?

I am Sisipho Mbombo but people call me Sisi . I’m a Xhosa lady, bread and born in Johannesburg in 1995. I can speak English, Zulu and French. I stay with my mom and sister when I’m at home in Pretoria. I’m a ballerina and dancing is my life!

I’m a grade 11 scholar at Roedean School in Partktown, Johannesburg. I’m a weekly boarder.

3)      Who is the most important person in your life and why?

The most important person in my life would have to be my mother of course as she has always been my pillar of strength and she’s always there when I need motivation.

4)      Do you have any role models and what do you admire in them?

My mother and the Dalai Lama would be my role models. My mother is one of my role models as she has a strong personality, ready to fight the world. The Dalai Lama is one of my role models as he is a very spiritual person and even though people have done terrible things to him and continue to do such, he still manages to stay calm and wish for peace amongst everyone.

We were born free! To have freedom and to be able to actually make a change in many peoples lives.

No

A day filled with love, laughter and happiness amongst everyone including yourself.

I would love to be a psychologist and own my own dancing studio for underprivilaged children.

BE who YOU want to be and not what others expect you to be!
