Rikesh is reaching for greater heights
Using his social media skills however, Rikesh made Facebook friends with people from all walks of life.
Rikesh Thakur is reaching for greater heights, following his win in a recent National Computer College (NCC) competition.
Rikesh received the most likes on Facebook during the NCC Meet Our Graduates competition, and walked away with a new laptop and bragging rights in the process.
Rikesh, who was doing a Basic Aspects of IT course at NCC, was involved in a titanic battle for the win with a fellow student. Using his social media skills however, Rikesh made Facebook friends with people from all walks of life, encouraging them to like his picture on the NCC Facebook page.
“I am very humbled by the support. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without each and every person helping me.”
Despite winning the competition and finishing among the top 10 graduates for the year, Rikesh has no plans to slow down.
He is now focusing on a one year learnership at Majuba College next year and has a chance to gain practical work experience at Umzinyathi District Municipality next year, which he is looking forward to. Rikesh aims to use the platform to launch himself to greater heights.
He dedicated the success of the past year to his mother, Sandy, who beamed with pride as he walked on stage to receive his accolades. Rikesh also thanked Nashveer Singh and every person who ‘gave him a like’, a gesture which went a long way.
