Vir Carine Steenkamp (20) van Bothaville in die Vrystaat begin die lewe, soos die gewilde gesegde lui, presies daar waar die teerpad eindig en die Steenkamp-familieboerdery begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 gemengde saai- en bees-boerdery is die spil waarom Steenkamp se bestaan wentel, en sy meen dat dit ‘n groot voorreg is om di\u00e9 roepingstaak saam met haar ouers te kan aanpak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten einde haarself toe te rus om as jongboer ‘n aktiewe rol in die uitbouing en voortbestaan van die boerdery te help verseker, het Steenkamp vanjaar agter die boeke ingeskuif as ‘n tweedejaarstudent in die BCom- (Finansi\u00eble Beplanning) program by Akademia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy pak hierdie studie via die na-uurse afstandsmodel aan.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Steenkamp kan sy die vaardighede en kennis wat sy in di\u00e9 program leer prakties in haar daaglikse boerderybestuurspraktyke toepas terwyl die na-uurse afstandsmodel haar die beweegruimte bied om haar ten volle in die boerdery uit te leef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ek kan, sonder om enige bykomende druk op myself te plaas, steeds bedags veilings en landbouskoue bywoon \u00f3f tot n\u00e1 19:00 saans op die plaas doenig wees,” verduidelik Steenkamp.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Akademia se Christelike inslag het die knoop vir Steenkamp as studietuiste deurgehak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“As ‘n boer is jy baie afhanklik van die Skepper, en sy genade en \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
voorsiening rig elke dagtaak,” s\u00ea Steenkamp en voeg by dat dit vir haar belangrik was om haar studie op dieselfde geloofsfondasie voort te bou. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Dit is natuurlik ook baie lekker om myself in Afrikaans verder te bekwaam en s\u00f3 my taal- en kultuurerfenis te omarm,” meen sy.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As jongboer is Steenkamp veral betrokke by die beesvertakking van die boerdery. In hierdie opsig wissel haar verantwoordelikhede van die versorging van die kalwers van die melkery, tot die administrasie van die geregistreerde vleisbeesstoet \u00e9n die bywoon van en deelname aan verskeie landbouskoue.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ek het reeds op skool tot die besef gekom dat ek ‘n tipiese naguil is, en daarom is dit nie moeilik om saans agter die lessenaar in te skuif om aandag aan my studieverpligtinge te gee nie,” s\u00ea Steenkamp. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy verduidelik dat sy as deel van haar studieroetine elke aand tyd maak om ‘n hoofstuk in ‘n module te bestudeer, terwyl sy ook naweke gebruik om assesseringstake en voorbereiding te doen.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steenkamp meen haar gunstelingmodule is finansi\u00eble en beleggingsbeplanning en dat dit vir haar lekker is om dit wat sy leer ook prakties in die boerdery te kan toepas. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Laasgenoemde vergemaklik die leerproses omdat Steenkamp meen dat sy terselfdertyd nuwe akademiese kennis \u00e9n waardevolle praktyk-ervaring opdoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is dan ook die rede waarom sy die instelling onomwonde sal aanbeveel aan ander wat hulself reeds in die werksw\u00eareld bevind.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steenkamp sluit af deur te s\u00ea dat sy, waarskynlik vanwe\u00eb haar liefde vir boerdery, altyd gemotiveer word deur die gesegde wat lui dat jy moet blom waar jy geplant is. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Niemand s\u00ea dat die lewe altyd net maklik gaan wees nie, maar jy het elke dag opnuut die keuse om te besluit of jy eerder op die onweerswolke gaan fokus \u00f3f op die re\u00ebnboog van belofte,” s\u00ea Steenkamp. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy motiveer haar medestudente \u00e9n diegene wat ‘n studiedroom koester om ook hierdie gesindheid in te neem, werk te maak van hul doelwitte en s\u00f3 die toekoms met hoop tegemoet te stap.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
