My name is Tiana. I am from Joburg and have spent my entire life here. I have a lot of identities, each one for every season, mood or chapter of my journey. I am independent, I love being alone but also love spending time with my family and close friends. I love reading and enjoy occasional baking. My aesthetic can go from 'it girl' to 'clean girl' to 'cottage core' quite quickly. I value making solid friendships and putting effort into my relationships.

My name is Jaden Barker and I come from Fourways. I would describe myself as the midpoint between an introvert and an extrovert if I feel comfortable around someone I will not hesitate to make friends and have a chat. Yet if I feel uncomfortable I will remain silent and try to blend into the crowd. I love learning random things, for example, I can name every country in the world and locate them. (This is from procrastinating during school) I am looking forward to the first year at Wits.

My name is Mpho Rambau. I come from a small village in Limpopo within the Vhembe District and currently reside in Midrand. I am a kind, humble, gentle and peaceful Christian and disciple of Yeshau. I am a husband and father, who loves playing Chess.

I enjoy working with other people however at times I do feel like my own space. This will be my first online course and it gives me a great anxiety because I'm simply used to having lectures in front of the classroom presenting the course content. I plan to turn my fears into success by giving myself more to understand and read more on the enrolled course.

I am from Joburg and I am Indian. I feel like I could write on this platform forever. There's so many things to talk about.
I've been told that I am intimidating which came as a surprise as I am a soft person. I guess its because I'm quiet but I speak up when something doesn't sit right with me and I work hard to achieve my goals. I was raised by a single mother who raised me with the mindset that only I am in control of the opportunities that I want for myself.
I enjoy working in the garden and I spend time with my dogs. I like to be surrounded by nature & life and I tend to appreciate things such as a beautiful view or sunshine.
I am a nurturing type of person and I just want the people around me to be cared for and to be happy.
I feel like the world lacks kindness.

I am super energetic, I am a vibe and strongly a positive thinker, so bad vibes don't stand a chance on me.  I am very picky with my surroundings and am always looking for those like minded.

I am very creative and very talented.  I love the truth and want it no matter how sad, hard or nice it could be. I am very self-motivated, self-driven and so passionate and I am a go-getter.

I'm from Klerksdorp in North West. I was born in South Africa, but both of my parents are Ethiopians. I consider myself to be anti-social and an introvert. I have a hard time socializing with other people, regardless of how much I would like to. It takes me a long time to get accustomed to someone and to feel comfortable around them. I enjoy designing clothes and listening to music. I also love reading books, especially classics.

I am a Tsonga girl who grew up in Gauteng where most of the things are easy to do than where my origins are really are, but I can do what most Tsonga people are known to be very good at, one of the things being braiding people's hair.I am a person who adores nature and a serene environment. I can say that most of relatives are around and  I enjoy spending  time with them because we believe that it is important for us to be there for each other.

I have never been really exposed to online learning and as I am encouraged to learn that way, I can say that it is difficult but I am getting used to it day by day. I really hope I'll be able to conquer all my challenges and get to be the person I have always wanted to be because I am very compassionate especially with minors.

I am  from KZN in a small town called Newcastle.

I believe I am half introverted because some days I like my  own space and quiet and some days I love being around a crowd well in cases where I'm around a crowd I prefer being in places where everyone is minding their own business. I love going out but i have my days also. I'm a person with a very low self esteem so sometimes I'm not comfortable around people. Being with my family since I'm so used to them is the only time I tend to feel comfortable and I'm able to just be myself completely but sometimes it's not that easy.

I am from Burgersfort, Limpopo.
I come from a not so rural neither modern place. I've had access to a smart phone for enough time for me to be able to conversate with people. I am however socially awkward and barely go out and I only talk to a few people on social media most of which are family.
I am honestly finding it difficult to learn online because there some things that I still do not understand and I don't have anyone to refer to (a friend precisely).

From childhood, I always loved to interact with people. I like to know people and make friends. I am a social person and go out with my friends and family. Also, I like to visit new places. Nature attracts me. Therefore, whenever I get the vacation I always insist on my friends and family for a getaway in nature’s lap.

Travelling gives me immense pleasure. I always capture beautiful moments and places in my camera. Whenever I am sad, I revisit my photo album to look at the beautiful places and moments. The thought of those happy moments and beautiful places makes me happy.

I am serious and disciplined about my studies and read many books other than my textbooks. Reading autobiographies and detective storybooks are what I like. I am involved in extra curriculum activities. I am learning music and love to dance and do crafts and arts.

It’s a journey to becoming who I’m meant to be.

It tests your reasoning
Your determination
And your dedication
