Dear Matriculant,
Getting this far shows that you can endure more than you thought; meaning you are you are definitely UNBREAKABLE!
🐝 We applaud ALL of you for getting to matric against all odds after the uncertainty and devastation that COVID brought.
🐝 We acknowledge that we may have missed or downplayed the impact it had on your mental health which is an important part of your wellbeing.
🐝 For those who thought things would be different when you arrive at this point in your life but still feel uncertain or confused about the future… you have all learnt the most fundamental lesson: Education is not only a right but also your responsibility.
🐝 Firstly: Allow yourself to acknowledge how you feel (ALL feelings are valid)
🐝 Secondly: Except your reality and the extra effort you have to make to get you to where you want to be. Weigh out the pro’s and con’s of your future options and it’s okay to have Plan B. Readjust your expectations. Always redirect to paths that will eventually direct you to what you are most passionate about.
🐝 Embrace rather than avoid the changes you need to make. Trust me, life gets more challenging after matric so keep doing your best to reach your potential.
🐝 Never view getting the outcome you didn’t expect as a setback but rather as an opportunity to grow, do things differently or to try another way.
🐝 Seek professional help or talk therapy from a psychologist and it’s okay to get a prescription of concentration pills to overcome your limitations.
Stay strong because you are definitely UNBREAKABLE.
❤️Dr Bee🐝
