Are
there any negative aspects of being a Bornfree
Yes, a large number of youth take for granted how important Education is. Not forgetting those who indulge in drugs and alcohol abuse because of course they can do as they please as they are 'free'

What
dream do you have for yourself, or a goal you want to achieve?
After Varsity I want to become a clinical psychologist, I would like to deal more with teens who suffer with depression and other psychological issues. One teen at a time I could slowly help mould the youth of this country to have a positive outlook on life.

What
message would you share with other Bornfrees?
The darkest hour is just before dawn, when the going gets tough never give up just know that there is a bright side to the darkest circumstance. And lastly make God the center of your life.
