4.2. My name is Ntoto Shikwambana; I was born and raised in

the small town of Giyani. I am schooling in Khanyisa Education
Centre. I take Physical sciences, Life sciences, Business studies,
Mathematics, English first additional language, Xitsonga home
language and Life Orientation as my subjects. I am a netball player
and part of the outreach committee.

Being able to accept and love myself the way I am. In 2022, I
won the proverto Mathematics competition and become the second
in South Africa.

I am good at playing netball, I won top player of the year 2 years

in a row. I have good leadership skills that is why am part of the
student council.

I turn to be shy a lot at first. I am working on being more

outgoing and on networking with others.
I sometimes procrastinate and I am working on setting deadlines
for myself and on breaking down large tasks into smaller, more
manageable ones.

As I said before I love and enjoy playing netball and I enjoy giving
back to others that is why am part of the outreach committee.

Creative: I have a unique way of looking at the world and I always

coming up with new ideas.
Responsible: I am a responsible person and I always follow through
on my commitments.
Kind: I am always willing to help others and I am always there for
my friends when they need me.

Pharmacists interact with patients on a daily basis, and they need

to be able to build rapport and communicate effectively. I enjoy
working with people and helping them to understand their
medication, then pharmacy may be a good career choice for me,
and I enjoyed my job shadow in the Shirinda Pharmacy.

The institution has a strong reputation for its pharmacy

program. University of Kwa-Zulu-Natal has a top-ranked pharmacy
program.

My mistake was letting other peoples' words get into me. It later
came into my attention that what I think about myself is what I
become and I started having positive thoughts about myself. I now
have the greatest confidence. I learnt that not everything that
people say I should take into consideration.

Start a business
