In hierdie inperking is baie mense besig om nuwe vaardighede aan te leer. Hulle is besig om \u2019n langverdiende ruskans te kry. Daar word na ons land se hele infrastruktuur gekyk en daar word planne gemaak om foute reg te stel. Minister Angie Motshekga het self ges\u00ea hierdie is \u2019n geleentheid om na ons onderwysstelsel te kyk en dit te verbeter. En ek, Kenneth Janson van H\u00f6er Jongenskool Paarl, ek . . . doen skoolwerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Natuurlik nie net skoolwerk nie \u2013 my rugbybal is vernietig, so ek word gedwing om met \u2019n wolbal in die agtertuin rond te hardloop en my broer se duikslae te ontduik. Ek het begin om \u2019n nuwe taal aan te leer, maar sewe dae se Duits was sewe dae te veel en ek het besluit om na Spaans oor te skakel. My kamer klink soos iets uit \u2019n Spaanse sepie, maar my familie vra nie vrae nie. Hulle aanvaar my.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Op \u2019n ernstiger noot: Al is ek nie tans besig om \u2019n massiewe impak op die w\u00eareld te maak soos sekere w\u00eareldleiers nie, is die pandemie besig om \u2019n massie\u00adwe impak op my w\u00eareld te h\u00ea. Nuwe werk wat ek nie verstaan nie is moeilik om aan te leer en sonder \u2019n memorandum kan my foute in rekeningkunde nie reggestel word nie (wat ironies is aangesien die aktiwiteite meestal oor regstelling van ander mense se foute gaan). Ek het begin om fliekreekse te kyk om sekere vakke interessanter te maak \u2013 hierdie is vir my \u2019n nuttige vaardigheid om die vak te verstaan en te wil doen. Gelukkig was my pa \u2019n onderwyser en kan hy vir my met besigheidstudies en ekonomie bystaan. Verder mis ek die interaksie met onderwysers en klasmaats en dit is moeilik om \u2019n vaste slaap- en werkrooster uiteen te sit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is egter voordele: Ek kan nou op my eie tyd werk en myself beloon vir \u2019n goeie studiesessie deur in die tuin te gaan rondstap of iets te eet. Hierdie is beslis nie iets wat ek by die skool kon doen nie. As ek wiskunde wil doen, doen ek wiskunde. Ek kan ook op \u2019n gemaklike plek gaan sit met \u2019n peuselhappie langs my en aan take werk. In die inperking het ek ook vele geleenthede gekry \u2013 hierdie artikel skryf is \u2019n voorbeeld. Ek is op die Paarl se junior stadsraad en ek het al gehelp om uitdagings vir mense op te stel, vir kinders stories op te neem, die nuus op die radio te lees en ek bied selfs programme op Paarl FM aan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanneer ons weer vrylik kan rondbeweeg, glo ek mense sal daardie vryheid waardeer. Ek weet ek sal beslis elke minuut op my fiets, in \u2019n motor op pad skool toe, op die rugbyveld, saam met my familie in \u2019n restaurant en selfs die klaskamer meer geniet as wat ek ooit gedink het moontlik is. Miskien was hierdie iets wat ons drasties nodig gehad het. Ek praat nou nie oor die virus nie, maar \u2019n tydjie by die huis. \u2019n Blaaskans. Sodat ons kan besef hoeveel dinge ons as \u2019n gegewe aanvaar het. Partykeer moet jy vasgevang word om vryheid te ontdek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
