NKOSINGIPHILE: South Africa: May 30, 2021

My name is Nkosingiphile Malulu Magwaza, 28 years of age. I am from South Africa, in a rural area called Maphumulo at Kwa-Zulu Natal. I was raised by my grandmother who is a widow and wife to my late grandfather Reverend M. Magwaza. I am a Christian and was raised with Christian principles was taught to show love, kindness and respect for other people. I have 3 nephews whom I love deeply. I have a very special and good bond with them. I sometimes help them with their home works and also play with them indoor games. I love kids and I enjoy spending time with them. I do not have any teaching experience.This has instilled in me passion for teaching and helping others. I have worked as an interpreter at Melmoth Magistrate Court here is South Africa for 6 months in 2016. My work experience prepared me for this because it improved my communication skills, attention to details and also time management. I am currently working as a Learner Support Agent at Balcombs Hill Primary School, this job has positively encouraged and motivated me to become a teacher, because I am working closely with children rendering professional and effective service to support school and also render care, support and protection of vulnerable children. . I want children to learn in a safe and comfortable environment so that their self-esteem will be increased. A high self-esteem will enable them to strive and accomplish any goals they set for themselves. As a teacher I will play a part in helping them to do that, I will have privilege of shaping future parents and productive members of society.
