\u201cWaardeer en respekteer jou onderwysers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
D\u00edt is die raad wat \u2019n oudleerder van Paul Roos Gimnasium aan huidige matrikulante wil gee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alex Aldrich, wat verlede jaar matriek geskryf het, het onlangs uitgevind dat hy tien onderskeidings in tien vakke behaal het nadat hy van sy vakke oor laat merk het. Hy het onder meer 96% in wiskunde en fisiese wetenskappe behaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs onderwysers begin klasgee, bly stil, luister en leer. Die skryf van jou matriekeindeksamen is \u2019n gulde geleentheid om jou skoolloopbaan op \u2019n ho\u00eb noot af te sluit. Vir jouself en vir jou onderwysers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aldrich stel ook voor dat matrikulante vroeg in die jaar vir hulself akademiese doelwitte stel en dat hulle konsekwent en getrou moet werk. \u201cJy hoef nie al die partytjies by te woon nie \u2013 daardie tyd sal nog kom, glo my.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy is dankbaar vir die onderwysers wat hom deur sy matriekjaar geneem het. \u201cMnr. Willem de Villiers, me. Du Plessis, mnr. Badenhorst, mnr. Van Rensburg en ons rektor mnr. Van Staden wat altyd tyd maak vir almal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aldrich is nie verbaas dat hy tien onderskeidings behaal het nie, want dis \u2019n doelwit wat hy vir homself gestel het. \u201cEk voel meer verlig as enigiets anders. Ek het geweet wat die doelwit behels en wat ek moet doen om dit te behaal. Wanneer ek vrae oor die werk gehad het, was my onderwy\u00adsers altyd behulpsaam en beskikbaar. Ek dink nie te veel aan die prestasie nie \u2013 ek kyk nou watter volgende en groter doelwitte daar is om te bereik, want intellektuele dormansie is tydmors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Net omdat hy vir homself \u2019n doelwit gestel het om tien onderskeidings te behaal, beteken nie hy het sy ander belange prysgegee nie. Hy het \u2019n projek, Matrick Music Concert, van stapel gestuur waar matriekmusikante van sewe verskillende skole opgetree het. Aldrich moes elke individuele musikant organiseer, die klanktoetse doen, kaartjies ontwerp en verkoop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Voorts het hy en twee spanmaats aan die nasionale eindronde van die onvoorbereide redenaarskompetisie, Dink of Sink, in Pretoria deelgeneem twee dae voor hy Engels moes skryf en \u2019n week voor chemie. \u201cEk het die Vrydagoggend gevorderde wiskunde geskryf en het dieselfde dag gevlieg om die Saterdag deel te neem aan die kompetisie. Ek onthou nou nog hoe ek die verskil tussen \u2019n alkeen en \u2019n alkyn op die lughawe geleer het terwyl ek vir my vlug gewag het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea Paul Roos Gimnasium se span het die kompetisie gewen met goeie afrigting en met behulp van oom Marius van Zyl. Daar was ook talle komitees se projekte, SR-verpligtinge, debat en koorkompetisies en sportdae wat hy moes bywoon en wat ook baie tyd geneem het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk moet egter s\u00ea dat ek nie vir een oomblik spyt is dat ek al hierdie geleenthede benut het nie \u2013 nie almal het die voorreg om aan so baie dinge deel te neem nie en as jy wel in die bevoorregte posisie is, gryp dit aan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aldrich studeer tans medies aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was nog altyd \u2019n klip in my skoen dat mense wat fisiek gestremd is of mense wat ledemate verloor het, nie gehelp kan word nie omdat ons nog nie oor die nodige kennis van senuweeselle beskik nie. Ek studeer dus medies om uiteindelik uit te vind hoe jy party mense weer kan laat loop, sien, hoor of selfs hul arms of bene terug te gee deur om te spesialiseer in die werking van die senuweestelsel. Daar is genoeg ellende in die w\u00eareld wat ons nie kan voorkom nie \u2013 hierdie is wel iets wat ek glo opgelos kan word.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
