“My daily words are, ‘Can the 13th come already?’ I have applied to universities and hope to pursue a career in the medical field.”
Britney Sinclair
“The final exams were stressful, but it was worth stressing for. I feel nervous at times, but I am also excited.
“I don’t believe I passed. I know I did because I was well prepared. I did not apply for tertiary education because my Grade 11 results were not good. I am looking forward to starting a job and registering to study social work at an institution next year.”

“I feel nervous about my results, but I am confident because of the effort I put in during the year. I believe my results will reflect that work. I have applied for tertiary studies at the UJ and Wits, and I would like to study law.”

“I am looking forward to my results. I know I passed because I performed well during the year.
“However, it is always nerve-wracking because these results will determine whether I make it to university or another tertiary institution. I want to venture into logistics and, hopefully, one day open a logistics company.”
