Polokwane’s Achiever Kabe to study orthopaedic surgery in the Caribbean
From Polokwane to the Caribbean, Achiever Kabe embarks on a six-year MD degree at St George’s University in Grenada with big career goals.
POLOKWANE – True to her name, a member of Jabez Christian Academy’s Class of 2024, Achiever Kabe earlier this week left home to pursue her studies at the St George’s University in Grenada in the West Indies for the next six years.
She is enrolled for a MD degree and intends to specialise in orthopaedic surgery once she has completed her MD.
Her expenditure will be funded by a bursary and augmented by her parents, Kenny, who is a manager at Eskom in Lephalale and Mahlodi, a businesswoman from the city and according to Achiever, she will miss her parents and siblings, Kyle (7) and Faith (9) who are her greatest supporters.
Achiever prepared herself for her studies by taking mathematics, physics, chemistry, life sciences and business studies at Jabez and rounded it off with English and Afrikaans.
She loves languages and is currently studying the Thai language.
Achiever is a team player and is confident that she will motivate other students to follow their dreams.
“My desire is to help other people and I was exposed to medicine at a young age when I had to attend to the well-being of my siblings,” she explains and adds that every person needs a support system when everything goes well and even when it does not go so well.
She started her secondary school career at Thabazimbi and according to Achiever, her year at Jabez Christian Academy solidified her ambition and discipline and put her on the right path to take her life to a higher level.
She already has a driver’s licence and is confident that she will hit the ground running when orientation starts as soon as she arrives.
“The first semester starts on the 12th of August and I intend to come home in December for the holidays,” she explained.
“Do your best and God will do the rest,” is her motto.
