Hello, I’m Ntandoyenkosi. I’m a student living in Johannesburg, South Africa. I am passionate about education and molding the next generation of innovative thinkers. To me, merely thinking outside the box is not enough. We should strive to think like there is not a box. Constantly developing new ideas to improve ourselves and the world around us.
There is more to education than passing tests and getting distinctions. I truly believe that education can the spark that ignites the flame in a learner to be the best version of his/herself. The classroom can be the birthplace of some of the brightest minds of the next generation, the next Picasso or Beethoven, or even strong pillars of various communities in society. I have the privilege of being able to inspire and mold young minds into people that will change the world. If you ask me, being a teacher is a superpower.
However, when I'm not being a science “nerd” or explaining what Newton's Laws of Motions are, I find myself listening to smooth jazz, writing poems or screaming, “Offside!!!” while watching some football.
