| Result Location. Will you be in South Africa when your final results are released?
|
Probably. My dream is to travel to Cuba so I’m in the process of trying to realise this dream…which hopefull will manifest in the December holiday. |
Interests
| Interests. What are your interests and hobbies?
|
I love to read. Learning languages is a great passion of mine. I run…to keep fit, albeit a challenging task; I believe in a holistic lifestyle. |
| Inspiration. Who inspires you most? Why?
|
That’s a difficult question. I draw inspiration from many sources. I think that I am the main source of my inspiration. This may sound arrogant but I think that it’s important to draw inspiration from yourself in times of solitude/isolation. Another major source is Neil DeGrasse Tyson, who inspired me to get involved with astrophysics in the first place. |
| Motto. Is there a motto / quote that you live by?
|
I don’t believe in living by quotes. Some seemingly inspiration quotes tend to contradict each other as they are subjective to the person who had said it. |
| Dreams and aspirations. Do you have any dreams for your future that you would like to share with us?
|
I see that the creator of this survey put ” would like” but ended in an astrix, meaning that the question is required to be answered. This is contradictory as the question was posed in the conditional tense.
My dreams… travel to Cuba…in fact, I would like(haha, see what I did there?) to travel to every single country in the world before I die. Meet a lovely South American chap. Be happy. Die. |
