Describing the year as a “roller-coaster,’ Silindile said her academic journey was a mix of intense study sessions and late-night cramming. The highs came during the final examinations, when she was able to stay consistent and focus solely on her studies, while the midyear tests left her questioning herself and struggling under pressure.

“Sticking to a study schedule and leaning on my study group really helped me push through,” she said, adding that seeing her marks improve during the preliminary exams gave her renewed confidence, despite the pressure of the final papers.
