Linda Msibi April 2016

April 2016

My name is Linda Msibi and I graduated last year from Waterford Kamhlaba UWCSA. I wanted to keep in touch and let you know what I am up to at the moment.

Firstly, I want to say thank you very much for the lovely opportunity you have all given me to study at Waterford. It has been a long, challenging and beautiful journey for me both academically and otherwise. I have watched myself transform into a strong and confident young woman throughout the seven years that I have spent at Waterford. I have also met some lovely people I can call friends today and I have made my own UWC Family.

At the moment, I am working with Mrs. Mills in the Community Service Department at Waterford Kamhlaba. The reason I wanted to work in that department is because I am interested in Development Economics and its impacts on developing communities. I hope to study it in University as well. I enjoy this job very much because it has taught me a lot about interacting with people, administrations of running an office and the power of civic engagement. But most importantly, I like to see this job as a better way for showing gratitude to the Waterford community for all that they have taught me.

At the end of August, I will be leaving for university. I have been given admission at Simon Fraser University in Canada under the Africa Entrance Scholarship. I am so excited and cannot wait to start yet another thrilling journey.

Once again, I am forever grateful for the opportunities that you have given me. Without it I wouldn't have achieved any of the things I have in my life.
