WINDHOEK– In life you need to push harder, what you want you will get it through hard work, it is not easy but it can be done.
Mushauka Cletius (19) from the Caprivi Senior Secondary School says challenges are everywhere but one has to keep pushing for better. He is the Best Overall Regional performer, Best Overall performer in six subjects in the Zambezi Region and best learner from and one of the few best learners from rural Namibia to have qualified for entry to a tertiary education institution. Cletius says even with all the challenges that he faced he kept studying as he knows what he wanted. “There were times that I have to study but there was no electricity. We had to go and buy candles to study, sometimes I used my phone light and when the battery died I continued the next day. This did not stop me from studying reminding myself that I have to study and pass very well,” says Cletius.
Mwale Liswani a JSC (Grade 10) second best overall performer in six subjects in Zambezi says being the best does not mean one is better than others but it is a sign of hard work. Liswani says it was not easy but with hard work and commitment she made it. “Challenges push me to success, to those who did not made it to Grade 11, you can still make it, it is not easy but it can be done,” she encourages.
