Kaashiefah Kistnasamy
I am Kaashiefah Kistnasamy, a fourth-year medical student at Stellenbosch University. I am from Rondevlei, Mitchells Plain. I attended Spine Road High School in Rocklands. My principal, Mr Najaar recommended that I apply to the Mitchells Plain Bursary and Role Model Trust as I had told him of my desperate need for funds as my registration fees were due. The trust has been helping me ever since and I hope to return one day as a qualified doctor and offer my contribution to the trust and help many students as they have helped me. If all goes well, I will be graduating in 2020 and start my internship. Thereafter I will have to do one year of community service. I definitely want to specialize after completing community service. However, I am still uncertain in which branch of medicine I would like to specialize as I find most branches of medicine fascinating and enthralling.
All the best to the Bursary Trust team!
