Today
we meet Sphe from Durban:
Tell us who you are and where
you're from, and staying currently
My name is Sphe
Ndwandwe, an 18-year old female born on 18 June 1994. I grew up in Glencoe but
now I currently stay in Durban, both in KwaZulu Natal.
Who do you live with and
where?
I live with my
mother, father, older sister, younger brother, niece and nephew in Sea View,
Durban.
What are you doing currently
(eg. attending school, working etc) and tell us more about that
I was doing Matric
at Durban Girls' College and now I anxiously await the 29th of December when we
get our results.
Who is the most important
person in your life and why?
God is the most
important 'person' (if I can call Him that) in my life. He is my everything and
I completely depend on and trust Him. Through the great and tough times He's
been there for me and with me and I can honestly say there is none like Him.
Do you have any role models
and what do you admire in them?
I don't have a
specific person I can say is my role model because I try to live my life God's
way, the way He says we ought to live in His Word.
What do you think is the
benefit of being a Bornfree
The opportunities
we have got for being Bornfrees are countless! Being in the group that was in
grade 1 in 2001, grade 2 in 2002 all the way to matric 2012 sets us apart from
the other years. As Bornfrees we are special and unique and the world is our
oyster!
Are there any negative
aspects of being a Bornfree
As with everything
there are always positives as well as negatives. I would say that since we are
Bornfrees many of us take for granted just how much was sacrificed so we could
live in a democratic country and be Bornfrees. And so we don't really appreciate
what we have as much as we're meant to. All we generally do is complain instead
of appreciate. And we tend to often do what we want and claim it's our right
when we are actually overdoing things. We forget how much was done for us to
get those rights we so willingly throw around unnecessarily.
What's your idea of a perfect
day?
For me a perfect
day would be one spent with my friends donating blood and doing anything else
as long as we do it together
What dream do you have for
yourself, or a goal you want to achieve?
I would love to do
well in matric then complete my degree - BSc (Software Development) at Rhodes
and get a good paying job and have a great husband and some kids. I would like
to achieve everything that God placed me on this earth to achieve. Everything
that is in His plan for my life!
What message would you share
with other Bornfrees?
It is important
that we appreciate the things people do for us no matter how small and as
Bornfrees we should be the change we want to see in the world.
