Nomaphelo Nduna

I am NOMAPHELO NDUNA and I have recently turned 15. I live in the Mother City, Cape Town, with my “blended” family. My mother is a single parent and yet she has to provide for my two big sisters, my little sister, both my sisters' children, my big brother, my pensioner granny and my cousin. Grandma helps a lot with her pensioner's pay and she buys fabric and sews clothes to make a living. Everyone in my family has a Grade 12 certificate but Mom can't afford to send them to universities. And that's why I want to be the first one in my house to finish all my studies and become what I want to be. You see, I am a very enthusiastic kind of person and I am confident about myself.
