Balancing school duties and academics
Briefly News spoke to Dzanga, who shared that balancing responsibilities as a head girl and striving for academic excellence had been an incredible journey of discipline, determination and passion.
"At the heart of it all, I held onto a powerful quote by Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam: 'A dream is not that which you see while sleeping. It is something that does not let you sleep.'"
Besides getting support from her family, friends and teachers, the hardworking student also shared that she achieved balance by prioritising effectively, setting clear goals, and staying consistent, adding:
"Early mornings and late nights became a routine, and I learned the importance of using every moment wisely. My leadership role taught me time management, teamwork, and resilience, which translated directly into my studies."
Dzanga told the publication that she plans to pursue a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBChB) at the University of Pretoria, specialising in cardiology.
"Beyond medicine, I aim to continue growing as a leader and public speaker.
"I believe that by combining my passion for medicine with my leadership and public speaking skills, I can contribute meaningfully to my community."
