I Wrote It Down In Grade 4!
Submitted by: Tuli Martins
South Africa, HermanusI'm a 24 year old tourism (and life) enthusiast. I studied for a BA degree at the University of the Western Cape. Now I work as a tour agent for a company in Hermanus. I'm full of dreams and life!
I went to a farm school until grade 9. When I was in grade 4 we were asked to write an essay about what we wanted to study one day and where we wanted to do that. I was living on a farm, in a remote rural region far from the cities and universities. What did I know?
I went on Encarta encyclopedia and searched for universities in the Western Cape. I might not have known where I wanted to study but I knew where in South Africa I wanted to be. And so Encarta spit out The University of the Western Cape. And that is where I was going. I was going to study tourism and communications at the University of the Western Cape.
Fast forward 12 years later I was sitting in my room at on campus watching The Secret when I remembered that I was exactly where I wrote I would be back in grade 4! I had completely forgotten about it! I was at the University of the Western Cape in my third year of my BA degree in tourism and communications! Incredible! I am so very grateful! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
