My first day at Tshwane, I did not know anyone and it was so scary...  The way I imagined that it was going to be like actually did not turn to that way, there were kids from other provinces with different languages like; Tsonga, Venda, Sesotho, and many more of them. I was a bit scared because I knew no one and I was the only girl who came from Eshowe.
