Noudat die matriekeindeksamen aan die gang is, beteken dit die jaar is byna op sy rug. Menige ouers van matrieks slaak enersyds \u2019n sug van verligting dat al die matriekbedrywighede (sport, interskole, matriekafskeid, bestuurslisensie kry, ens.) oplaas verby is. Andersyds hou hulle duime vas dat 12 jaar gelede se Sus of Daan nou die laaste stukkie van die wedloop goed sal voltooi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As ouer het ek al vier keer di\u00e9 paadjie bewandel. Ek weet pa en ma raak bekommerd as die jongeling omtrent net sy of haar bas wil lig, terwyl die kinders dikwels s\u00ea, \u201cmaar ek h\u00e9t mos opgelet in die klas\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elke ouer wil die beste h\u00ea vir hul kinders terwyl die jongelinge graag soos grootmense behandel wil word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matriek is waarskynlik die belangrikste eksamen wat \u2019n mens in jou lewe sal skryf. Dit is die \u00e9\u00e9n eksamen waarin dit uiters belangrik is hoe goed jy slaag. Elke tersi\u00eare eksamen daarn\u00e1 moet jy net slaag. Maar elke tersi\u00eare instelling wil weet ho\u00e9 goed jy matriek geslaag het. Selfs toe ek na twee diplomas \u2019n graad wou gaan studeer, was dit my matrieksertifikaat wat die universiteit vereis het vir toelating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As \u2019n ouer, oud-onderwyser, -lektor en tans loopbaankonsultant, wil ek graag elke matrikulant wat met die matriekeksamen besig is, aanmoedig om jou heel beste poging aan te wend, aangesien dit jou nog baie jare sal baat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir diegene wat vanjaar in graad 11 is, is dit belangrik om te onthou dat hierdie November-eksamen se punte die punte is wat tersi\u00eare instellings volgende jaar gaan gebruik om te besluit of hulle jou in 2024 gaan toelaat om daar te studeer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ek het genoeg eksamens in my lewe geskryf om te weet van al die versoekings tydens eksamentyd. Wanneer jy hierdie tyd van die jaar moet sit en leer, is dit die lieflikste dae en trek jou hart met \u2019n punt buitentoe om te gaan swem, oefen of wat ook al. Of die interessantste goed verskyn skielik op sosiale media of die TV, wat jy net nie kan nalaat om te kyk of op te reageer nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarom is dit wys om in hierdie tyd vir jouself grense te stel wat die versoekings kan verminder. Stel \u2019n studierooster op met afgebakende studietye en kort rusperiodes tussenin. Gaan los jou selfoon by jou ma of in \u2019n ander vertrek vir die tye wat jy studeer. En onthou \u2013 die eksamen duur net \u2019n paar weke. Vir \u2019n eksamen wat vir baie jare jou lewe kan be\u00efnvloed, is dit vir seker die moeite werd om vir hierdie paar weke met absolute toewyding te studeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ek het by geleentheid die voorreg gehad om \u2019n praatjie van \u2019n briljante man, wat voor sy dertigste verjaardag al \u2019n doktorsgraad in toegepaste wiskunde verwerf het, by te woon. Hy is ook baie lief vir sport en het beklemtoon dat \u2019n mens die regte goed moet oefen vir dit waaraan jy wil deelneem. Vir fietsrykompetisies moet jy fietsry oefen en as jy aan padwedlope deelneem, moet jy hardloop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom is dit dieselfde vir studies. Om \u2019n suksesvolle student te wees, was sy raad dat jy nie net jou verstand moet oefen nie, maar ook jou sitvlak. Hy het vertel hoe hy telkens die dag voordat die universiteit begin het, die hele dag op die stoel voor sy lessenaar gesit het om solank voor te berei vir die groot sit wat voorl\u00ea. Die ABC van studie is inderdaad \u201cApply Bottom to Chair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En dan n\u00e1 die groot eksamen \u2013 die groot wag vir uitslae en die regmaak vir die nuwe fase in jou lewe. Miskien gaan jy verder studeer, miskien gaan jy werk, miskien neem jy \u2019n \u201cgap\u201d jaar, of dit kan dalk gebeur dat jy nie matriek slaag nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat ook al jou situasie, daar is net een pad, en dit is vorentoe. Paulus het ges\u00ea: \u201cEk verbeel my nie dat ek dit alles al het nie. Maar een ding doen ek: ek maak my los van wat agter is en strek my uit na wat voor is.\u201d (Fil 3:13)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ja, matriek is vIr seker nie die wenpaal nie, maar slegs die einde van jou skoolloopbaan. Vir party was skool lekker en vir ander nie, maar as dit verby is, l\u00ea \u2019n nuwe hoofstuk voor. Gryp dit met albei hande aan. As jy moet gaan werk soek, maak dit jou werk om werk te soek, of studeer jy verder, maak die beste gebruik van die geleentheid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As jy dalk ongelukkig is en nie die eksamen slaag nie, is dit nie die einde van die w\u00eareld nie. Ek ken heelwat mense wat nie di\u00e9 groot eksamen geslaag het nie, die jaar herhaal het en uiteindelik met groot sukses verder studeer het. Onthou, jou eie keuses is die grootste bepalende faktor van jou toekoms. .<\/span> David Malherbe is \u2019n vryskutskrywer en woon in Langebaan.
