Education is important: Part 1

Education plays a significant role to design your future as a successful person in life and as a useful citizen in the society. I believe no one can neglect the importance of it. Education reduces the challenges of life that one might face.

Importance

Education is important because it gives a different perspective on life and establishes a personal opinion after analysing the situation. It helps society to develop socially and economically. Also, latest technologies are developed and used in different areas like health, economy, military and other business.

Educated doctors find the solutions to the dangerous diseases, cause, and prevention of these diseases.

Education is very important to bring prosperity, unity and build a stronger nation. People will not make difference between right and wrong until they are educated.

When you have more knowledge, there will be more opportunities for you to accelerate your professional and personal growth in life. It is clearly shown no person can open the doors of opportunities and success in life without being educated. Having a scholar background not only give a knowledge of a particular subject but also it teaches us the core values and ways of living.
Self-respect and basic rights of human beings are benefits of educated people.

Matrics 2021

Alex Manise
As one of the many seniors amongst more than one million others, I have felt many emotions towards the way senior year sadly ended for us. As you begin on your journey into senior year, I ask you to remember what we had all lost. Senior year is supposed to be the big hooray. It is the year you become an adult, and begin your journey into life.

We all began our high school journey as scared, little, freshman and have grown into ourselves as we experienced the joys and hardships that are thrown our way during those 4 years. We have watched seniors above us enjoy the perks of their last year: prom, prom weekend, prize givings, and the list goes on. It's very unfortunate that we did not have any of those as the class of 2020, but I pray that things get better so that the class of 2021 can get what we never got. So that they can make the best of what we never had! So that they can study hard without interruptions such as shutting down of schools and more especially the current status quo (Covid-19). All of this depends on how much we are determined to listen to our government officials and abide to the law; and all of this depends on our relationship with God. Because without him all of our dreams are just dreams.

Personally, I have had friends throughout different grades every year of high school. Particularly, I found my best friend, who just so happens to be a junior. But I have hope that I will inspire him to get to the senior phase where I had also passed- just the way I was also friends with seniors from my school.

It's a new year! It's a new beginning! I pray that you all enjoy your matrix year! I pray that you have a year full of education, fun and prosperity as this is your year that will determine your future. I know that God exists. I know that he is able, and I know that he will be with everyone of you this year. Viva Matrix 2021 Viva! Shine like the sun! Bright as ever.

Mr Lesala Arnold Khetheng

Lesala Khetheng
"You can walk a horse to river, but you cannot force it to drink the water," has always been his actions. He would tell you everything you need to know that is wrong and wright, but it's all up to you whether you want to listen to him and act upon it or not. Mr Lesala is a very busy man, but you would never find him missing anything that he needed to do. Do you wonder why? Because he knew how to spend his time. He lives up to " If you want to be more productive, you need to become the master of your minutes". A person who claims they know Mr Lesala would know how much he loved his teams! All of them even!

Starting from the very first time when he was still a learner at THS WELKOM HTS. He was a consistent and a hard working learner. One of the best the school has ever had! Not only did he grow to become the best in everything he did, but also did he become one of the best coaches at school. He lifts as he rises and he makes sure that you rise whether you want to or not ... Honour, Courageous and Dignity are his full names! He is one of a kind. Mr Lesala took my school to higher levels. He took my peers including me to places we never thought we'll reach! High ! Very High places I say! I'm talking about my debating coach here. 

Alex Manise
I never understood why he would train us for 10-15 minutes during a 1 hour 30 minutes sports period. He would just say "Sir Alex, you guys must learn how to conduct a training yourselves! Every time when you enter the classroom, I must find you guys discussing relevant status quo related issues. Never waste previous time on asking each other how you are doing or whatsoever, if you want to socialise, do it during breaks"... The same would apply to basketball players. That taught me to manage my time because no one else can do that for you ... In short, thank you for all the memories spent. Thank you for all the lessons and all the hustles you went through to get us to tournaments!

All the best with your future endeavours. May the Holy God be with you and your family. Marriage is a big step, but trusting in God can make it a walk in the park.

️May God bless you and your new wife.

Dankie vir jou bydrae - dit word waardeer

'n Baie groot dankie aan elke leser wat betrokke gelees en gereageer het. 

Dankie aan elkeen wat so gereeld gedurende 2020 berigte en foto's gestuur het om hierdie blog van HTS aan die gang te hou. 2020 was nie 'n maklike jaar nie en baie leerders het hulle inligting, inspirasie en ekstra leermateriaal juis hier gekry.

'n Spesiale woord van dankie aan Alex Manise, 'n graad 12-leerder wat so gereeld die pen opgeneem het en bydraes deur die jaar gelewer het, asook een van HTS se assistente, Shaun Mmutsi.

2021 begin in 'n sekere sin waar 2020 opgehou het, daarom vra ons dat elkeen wat betrokke was, steeds sal voortgaan om inligting te stuur. Ons sien uit daarna.
