Dream Speech

I Have a Dream

 

Good morning to my fellow classmates, lecturers and the esteemed guests at large. My name is Khanyisile Mthembu and I have a dream.

 

I have a dream—a dream that one day I will finish school, that the chapters of my education will be written in the ink of determination, perseverance, and growth. I have a dream that I will not just walk across that stage with a degree in hand, but that I will stand tall, knowing I have earned it through every struggle, every sleepless night, and every challenge I have faced. And in that moment, I will look around and feel my heart swell with pride, not just for the achievement, but for the journey that got me there.

 

I have a dream that as I walk this path, I will become the best version of myself—the version my mother always hoped I would be. I can almost hear her voice, telling me to keep going, telling me to push forward, even when the weight of the world feels too heavy to bear. Though she is no longer here with me, I know she is watching from heaven, smiling down, proud of the steps I am taking, the person I am becoming. In my heart, I feel her love and her belief in me, guiding me, urging me to keep going, to rise, to be everything I was meant to be.

 

I have a dream that my father, is still with me—his spirit, his teachings, and the seeds he planted in me continue to grow and blossom. He taught me to be strong, to be kind, to be

humble, and to never give up. And now, as I continue to grow, I feel his pride in every moment of progress. He believed in me. And I know that even from wherever he may be, he is watching the seeds of his wisdom and love bloom into something beautiful.

 

But my dream doesn’t end with me. I have a dream of making a difference in my community, of being a light in the dark, a beacon of hope. I want to help the youth of tomorrow understand that they have the power to be the change they wish to see in the world. I want them to know that no matter where they come from, no matter the obstacles they face, they can rise above it all. I want to be a mentor, a guide, someone who shows them that greatness isn’t about where you start, but where you choose to go.

 

I have a dream that one day, the youth I help today will rise up, lead with integrity, and make this world a better place. I want to see them fight for justice, for kindness, for opportunity, and for each other. I want them to know that the future isn’t something that just happens—it’s something they create, with every choice they make, every action they take.

 

So I stand here today, holding onto this dream, knowing that I am on the journey to becoming the best version of myself. I carry with me the love and wisdom of my mother and father. And I carry with me the hope for a brighter tomorrow—a tomorrow built on the strength of the youth, the strength of community, and the strength of knowing that no dream is too big to achieve.

 

I have a dream. And I will see it through.

Maths Literacy

I was introduced to a new form of Mathematics during my End-User Computing course, and that is Maths Literacy. I have never done this form of Math before and it was an eye opening experience. I got to see the different ways in Maths questions can be asked and answered. The logic you need to answer, and the reasoning behind every answer that you give. The practicality needed to answer questions, allows you to think deeply before you answer, and ensure that your answers are practical and logical.

My Week In A Nutshell

Date: 25 October 2024 What a long week! What a week it has been. This week I began my 3 month course at NEMISA. The course is called End-User Computing. The beginning of the experience was hectic, to say the least, but I eventually got used to it.  The first day was mainly just an introduction to the course, and not much happened on the day. The following four days was when the work actually started. We had to create a Word document centered around a business, a PowerPoint presentation on our interests, then we got into the introduction of the Maths content. Finally, on Friday we learnt about the workplace, but we didn't delve into it deeply.  Overall, this first week has been a rollercoaster of emotions. I’m feeling optimistic but also a bit overwhelmed. There’s so much to take in, but I know it’s all part of the journey. Here’s to the weeks ahead, and to settling into this new chapter of my life!

Dashboard, what a task!

 This has been a long week. We've been tasked with creating an interactive dashboard, and boy is it a lot. Luckily we were given a lifeline, because we didn't have to create everything from scratch, we could use some documents from a task of another module. The task required us to know the businesses we wanted to create thoroughly, and be able to measure the success we think the business will measure up to. The task is a lot, however I managed to push through and complete. All thanks to the help of YouTube videos.
