Andrew Todd
Head Of Rugby & Educator
Roodepoort
Summary
I try to live my life by being better each day than I was the day before. I see myself as a life-long learner, trying to improve myself, not only for me, but for my family. I am eager to find new opportunities to grow in each aspect of my life and find it necessary to try and gain as much knowledge about new trends in society to stay ahead of whatever difficulties might be thrown my way. I am hardworking and rise to every challenge that is set in front of me. I find by settling for something and giving your all, you are wasting your God-given talents and the opportunity to become a better version of yourself. I feel that my experiences in teaching various subjects and also being the head of a school’s rugby program, I have gained the knowledge needed for any challenges that may come my way and know that if any opportunity may arise, I will be able to make the best of it.
