Head Boy

 

My journey at St Peter’s College has been one like no other. From shouting my lungs out and going crazy with my friends at every single rugby derby day, to dunking the basketball hoop and making the crowd go wild. The college has really given us students the opportunity to pursue our interests and further grow our passion in the activities we enjoy.

Soirée nights, the drumline’s vibe, and dancing in the MADD center all uplifted my spirits when things got tough and there were quite a few of those days.

Connections were made between students of all grades and memories were engraved that will never be forgotten. Whether they were older or younger, getting to know new faces was exciting and receiving help to get where I am was even better. From academic support to tips on the court, I have always had the college family to rely on. I can truly say that my high school career was the best time of my life.

The 4 core values were the anchors of my development as a student. I am a student-athlete and with that came the responsibility of having to balance both school and sports making sure to give my best in each. Experiencing the hardships of being a hard worker and not reaching my goal on the first attempt taught me the resilience to come back even harder than before. The journey of moving from being a junior to a senior student taught me the importance of respect and how it is a fundamental aspect of all relationships both among peers and staff.

I am also quite present in college life. This has afforded me the opportunity to build relationships in different situations, i.e. the classroom, the courts, and relationships are the key to success. As the African proverb goes “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”
