Nie \u2019n haartjie is uit sy plek nie en die grimering is so keurig opgesit dat dit lyk asof dit deur \u2019n professionele grimeerkunstenaar gedoen is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Licrecia Wildschut van Caledon en \u2019n leerder aan Swartberg Sekond\u00ear en Jaylin Farmer van Grabouw en \u2019n leerder aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Grabouw, kan nie wag om week n\u00e1 week hul trompoppieklere aan te trek en s\u00f3 letterlik hul beste voetjie voor te sit nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 twee is ook die Overberg se trots, want hulle gaan in September nie net Suid-Afrika nie, maar ook die Overberg by die MWF-w\u00eareldkampioenskap in Kroasi\u00eb verteenwoordig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selfs die onderburgemeester van die Theewaterskloof-munisipaliteit, John Michels, het spesiaal sy gelukwensing aan hulle oorgedra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Praat jy met die twee tieners se ouers, kom jy gou agter Licrecia en Jaylin is kinders wat hul ouers trots maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns kan met trots s\u00ea ons tieners is nie probleemkinders nie, maar twee wat trots is op wat hulle bereik het en hard werk vir hul prestasies,\u201d het albei se ouers trots vertel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle liefde vir trompoppies kom al \u2019n lang pad saam met hulle. Licrecia is nou al vier jaar \u2019n trompoppie \u2013 vandat sy 11 jaar oud was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jaylin vertel: \u201cWas dit nie vir my ma nie, sou ek nie \u2019n trompoppie kon wees nie. Sy is die een wat my daaraan bekendgestel het. Een van my vriende se suster was ook \u2019n drummie,<\/i> en nadat ek gesien het wat sy alles doen, het die gogga my ook gebyt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Albei is dit eens dat die hoogtepunt van hul trompoppieloopbaan die insluiting in die Suid-Afrikaanse span is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy hoogtepunt was toe ek in 2019 my Boland-kleure ontvang het en die jaar toe ek gekies is om Suid-Afrika te gaan verteenwoordig,\u201d vertel Licrecia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jaylin s\u00ea sy het hard gewerk om die Suid-Afrikaanse span te haal. \u201cEk het nooit gedink ek sou gekies word om saam met die beste trompoppies in Suid-Afrika in \u2019n span te wees nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As trompoppies nie die twee besig hou nie, sal jy Licrecia op die netbalbaan kry en Jaylin met musiek in haar ore besig om te dans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk geniet dit om nuwe dansstyle te leer en selfs choreografie l\u00ea na aan my hart. Al moet ek dit nou self s\u00ea, ek het nogal ritme,\u201d vertel sy skamerig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir Licretia is om lid van \u2019n span te wees, baie lekker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk hou van mense om my en geniet dit baie om netbal te speel. Dit hou my lekker fiks ook,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hulle sou hulle dit nie kon regkry sonder die ondersteuning van hul gesinne nie en hulle is dankbaar vir di\u00e9 steunpilare in hul lewe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk kyk baie op na my pa, want ek het uithouvermo\u00eb by hom geleer. Ek het ook geleer om trots te wees op dit wat ek doen, en as ek iets doen, moet ek dit na die beste van my vermo\u00eb doen,\u201d s\u00ea Licretia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jaylin vertel sy voel gese\u00ebnd om deel van hierdie \u201ceenkeer-in-\u2019n-leeftyd-geleentheid\u201d te wees, maar sou dit nie kon regkry as dit nie vir haar familie was nie. \u201cDit sou nie moontlik gewees het sonder my ouers, my twee oumas, my skole, my suster en die Grabouw-trompoppies nie. Dan wil ek ook graag die Grabouw-gemeenskap bedank vir hul ondersteuning,\u201d vertel sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hulle sien daarna uit om hul vlerke te sprei en op die vliegtuig te klim en die land te gaan verteenwoordig, maar s\u00ea ook: \u201cDaar is nog baie water om in die see te loop . . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geld bly vir hulle \u2019n groot probleem en hulle hoop dat dit nie in hul pad gaan staan om hul droom te verwesenlik nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNie net ons nie, maar ook ons families, het alles ingesit om ons by te staan om hierdie doelwit te bereik, maar die geld bly \u2019n kwessie. Baie geld is nog uitstaande en ons hoop ons kry dalk \u2019n borg om ons te help,\u201d s\u00ea hulle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
