aspirations

Afrikaans is my Home Language and I want to become a teacher and teach subjects that I enjoyed in school like Afrikaans, English, Mathematics and Natural Sciences. I want to work as an assistant teacher while completing my studies so that I can gain practical experience in the Education sector. I was in High School in 2024 and since January of 2025 I started working as a waiter at Tennessee Spur because I wanted to make a little bit of money while waiting for April because it was in April that I applied to study Education at AROS private afrikaans university. Ever since I got into Aros I wanted to start my teaching journey and work as an assistant teacher. I know my future is not at Spur working as a waiter, my future is teaching mathematics and science at a primary school.
