Aaqilah Booley
I am Aaqilah Booley, 20, and I live in Welcome Estate. I have moved around often and for several years lived in Mitchells Plain (Lentegeur, Eastridge) and attended Portland High School. I am a second-year BA student, majoring in Psychology, Language and Communication Studies and English at the University of the Western Cape (UWC). With these modules, I plan to register for a Post Graduate Certificate of Education, which is one of the stepping stones towards my ultimate goal which is teaching. Teaching has always been one of my passions and I have volunteered at an NGO to help children read and write. The bursary from the Trust has been a tremendous help, everyone is a close-knit family and they always extend a helping hand. When I reach my goal, the helping hand that has been extended to me, will be extended to other children. When I become successful, it is not only my success, but all of our success.
