I am a colored female student. My home language is "ENGELS ". I stay in the university residence "METANOIA (DAMES) ".
I have a bursary of an outside institution worth R40000.00.
My weighted average after the first semester is 32.79%. That means that my academic performance thus far is 42.04% of what I achieved in matric. My performance has therefore decreased quite substantially during my first six months at university in comparison with my grade 12 results.
I have, however, some role models whose stories inspire me and motivate me to achieve success in my studies. The reason they are so motivating? Well, they all struggled initially, like me, to adapt and find their feet. Eventually they manged to survive and became successful academically. Their stories are listed below.
I began my studies in 2002 at Stellenbosch University as a first-year student in the Faculty of Science. My programme of choice was BSc (Molekul en Sellu Biol) E . The minimum period to complete this programme is 3 years. I achieved an average of 71.30% in grade 12.

My weighted average academic performance after the first semester of my first year at university was 35.51%.

A Record of My Academic Success (since my first semester)
I managed to improve on my worse than expected first semester results: At the end of my first year my weighted average was higher than at the middle of the year (after semester 1).
