On the 13th of Februay 2012 I left home and went to University to study. I studied Publishing studies at Universaity of Pretoria. I was among the students who were given an opportunity to stay at Res. I spent 3

years of my varsity life at a residence known as Kollegetehuis. This book is about my graduation, and in this book are the most important people in my life, my parents , my sister, and some of my friends I met during

my time in varsity. Some of those are my Res mates, the guys I spent my time with when I was not on Campus. They are like my brothers, one thing they thaught us at Res was brotherhood. The last thing I will say is that this has been the most wonderfull time of my life not only the graduation ceremony but also the

memories during my student life.

A strong man who has known power all his life, loses respect for that power,But a weak man knows the value of strength and knows compassion.

The journey was long and hard. It wasn’t easy but in the end it was all worth it. This was the best day of my life. I never thought that one day I would graduate, coming from a disadvantaged background.

Thank you to everyone who came and supported me on this day.
