Johannes Ramavhoya

I studied my grade 8 to grade 12 at Johannes Ramavhoya high school it's located in rural areas. I travelled about 40 minutes to get to the school from my home as I was walking. The school has limited resources as other schools in town but the teacher where excellent and accommodates any student. Was struggling at first but started to excel from grade 10 because of the support I got from the teachers. We used to share textbooks as there was not enough textbooks for everyone. I would have a certain textbook for 1week and give it back to the other student I shared with also she'd use it for one week and return it to me. I did my matric in 2017. I Didn't have any financial support from anyone as my mother was not working. Only got the social grant which was helping with food and essential needs. My physical science teacher offered me study guides after I got the highest marks in the first term this inspired me to learn and read my books more. I wrote my matric and passed. I was the top learner in the school my teachers where happy for me. The experience was great seeing that the school was struggling in a lot of things but I got to pass very well. Am not doing my BA in Forensic science and technology in unisa
