Keshia Cherel Urias
I am Keshia Cherel Urias, a second-year undergraduate at the University of Cape Town (UCT), studying towards a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, Human Anatomy and Physiology. Many might see me as just another ordinary 19-year old who matriculated from Spine Road High, but I believe that I was destined for great things and thanks to the Mitchell’s Plain Bursary and Role Model Trust, I am able to achieve my dreams of becoming a medical researcher once, (God-willing) I complete my honours. Without the Trust, I don’t know how I would account for the shortfall towards my university fees. Besides the great financial help, the Trust has given me a second family. Other students I can turn to and who encourage me when the workload becomes overwhelming. May the Trust continue to show that Mitchell’s Plain has born leaders! We are breaking the status quo.
