A well again expectations through schooling for a age group natural free of charge

I am the offspring of the current generation of workers and domestic workers garden, mine workers, security guards, cashiers and waitresses in South Africa. We commonly known as the "born frees' - children who have grown after apartheid.

Our parents worked to free ourselves from the harsh economic conditions that were a victim, feeding hope for a better future for us through higher education.

Having made it through their first year of college - a moment that makes me feel like a proud veteran - I think the struggle of my generation faces not only the lack of access to higher education But even more, the lack of knowledge about how to educate themselves.

I am one of three daughters of a domestic worker single mother. I went to a very good school in Johannesburg, but I faced many painful conflicts regarding payment of tuition fees, which were subsequently resolved by a scholarship granted me for my studies.

The prospect of tertiary education seemed unrealistic.

I felt trapped in terms of career options and did not know the range of options. The job fairs I attended offered to large companies looking for young academic potential and focused on utopian careers in accounting, science, mathematics and engineering.

There was never places student loans or scholarships to explain how they could finance careers outside these sectors. So I made my career choice based on the probability I had a better chance if I study grants and job accounting. Doubts about whether I wanted to be an accountant dissolved the idea of a better standard of living.

I chose school subjects and consequently went to study for a BCOM accounting at the University of Johannesburg (UJ). I had applied for several scholarships for accounting and been nominated for one, subject to my final Metric (school exam) results.

Disasters hit

Unfortunately, I fell ill just before my review of the accounting, but refused to be hospitalized so he could write it. I endured the exam, but he entered the hospital the next day with a burst appendix. While my last article was written business studies was in intensive care, more concerned to keep the business alive.

Mostly recovered, next month - January 2011 - UJ I was very early on the day of the opening three days and endured long queues. I was to write a supplementary exam in March. I had achieved distinction for business studies in the preliminaries and also in my favor was that I had five points above the entry requirement - even without my seventh issue.
