 In my second year of high school, my dad passed away from cancer. Finances were so tight that my mum couldn't afford to keep my brother and I in the school we were at. The principal and the other teachers took money out of their own pockets to pay for my twin brother and I's tuition. At that time, I set myself a lot of big running goals. I broke a few interschool records and won a few medals and was actually appointed sports captain of the school. Receiving the scholarship has been an absolute blessing. I live 1700 kilometres away from home and my mum isn't able to support me financially. When I graduate, I hope to work with an elite sport team as a physiotherapist. I feel I was put on this earth for a reason and that I have a big purpose to fulfill.
