Welcome to our awesome series of interviews with Bornfrees! We'll be highlighting the stories of Bornfrees from all around South Africa and are keen to hear from YOU if you were born into freedom - make contact through our email bornfrees18@gmail.com
Today we meet Lawrence who lives
in Polokwane, Limpopo:
Tell
us who you are and where you're from, and staying currently
My
name is Lawrence Makoti. I school at Kwenamolapo CFS. My hometown is Polokwane in
Limpopo province. I currently live at
Chartwell Country Estate and have lived there since 2002 with both my parents
and I'm the last born in my family.
What
are you doing currently (eg. attending school, working etc) and tell us more
about that
I'm
currently in school, Grade 12/ Matric. I've done well with my studies till this
day and I'm also currently doing marketing with Boston under ORT SA, since
2010. It's a 3 year course and this is my final year. Next year when I get my
matric certificate I will also receive my marketing certificate.
Who
is the most important person in your life and why?
The
most important person in my life is my mother as she is the best person ever,
not to say that my father isn't but the love of a mother is always greater.
Do
you have any role models and what do you admire in them?
I
look up to people who are successful in life and who are living their dreams.
What
do you think is the benefit of being a Bornfree
The
benefits of being a Bornfree is that you are unique in a way that you are exposed
to so many things in life, which also includes the things of the apartheid era.
Are
there any negative aspects of being a Bornfree
Being
a Bornfree also puts us under pressure as we are regarded as the hope of the
nation, we have the responsibility to elevate our country to even more greater
heights for a better life for all.
My
idea of a perfect day is when I'm just chilling with my whole family, laughing
together and enjoying each others' company.
What
dream do you have for yourself, or a goal you want to achieve?
My
goals for life is to see myself having a successful job. Travelling to other
countries and driving a golf GTi. I want to study for Audiovisual Communications
next year at University of Johannesburg and hoping for the best for myself and my future.
What
message would you share with other Bornfrees?
My
message to the Bornfrees is live your life to the fullest, enjoy every moment
and make the most out of yourself and remember YOLO but play safe as well.
