“I studied as much as I could, but I also made sure to relax, by talking to my friends and listening to music.

“I made sure to pay special attention to the areas I struggled.”

“I advise 2020 matrics to work hard every day, rather than slacking off until the last minute.
“Find small pleasures to distress with whenever you can. Remember that as important as your matric results are, life still goes on and there are still so many opportunities, even if you do not achieve the marks you hoped for.”
