Thaakirah Galant
My name is Thaakirah Galant. I am 20-years old and completed matric at Spine Road High School in 2017. I am a first-year student at Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), studying towards a 4-year BSc degree in Diagnostic Radiography. I am the first in my family to study at a tertiary institution. For this opportunity I have only the Almighty and the Mitchell’s Plain Bursary and Role Model Trust to thank. The trust has welcomed me into their family and helped to make my first year pleasant. The trust is extremely helpful, supportive and encourages recipients to excel and become role models to those who would like to study in the future and improve the community we live in. In the future, I would like to do my Master’s and I hope to be a part of the trust for a long time.
