College is in my blood . I come from 3 generations of College Old Boys , totaling 12 including myself with my 2 younger brothers to follow from my side of the family .
College gives boys like me an opportunity to become the best that they can be . My grandfather said the day I was born that I would be a College Old Boy one day ! He lived to see me finish my first year at College and was so proud to sit next to the rugby field supporting his school with my uncle , dad and myself at his side . It was one of my proudest moments which I will treasure forever having the most amazing man , role-model and my greatest fan at my side . College Forever !

As an orphan , I have known what it is like to not have a stable home life , to not be sure where my next meal would come from , to miss days at school . But then , through the College community , I got an opportunity to attend Maritzburg College , thanks to the support of the College Foundation .
Luckily , I am now at the boarding house at College so I don ’ t have to worry about places to live or food or about going to school . I am working hard at my academics and enjoy playing sport for College . This year I am proud to say I have been selected for the 15A rugby team . The College Foundation is helping me with everything I need .

For me College is not just a school . Yes , I receive an amazing education , but there is so much more that it offers : opportunities and experiences completely unique to our brotherhood .
Without the College Foundation there is no way I would have been blessed with this opportunity . I feel it is my duty to give everything I can back to the school that I love , and I will continue to do so long after I ’ ve matriculated .
Since its ’ beginning Maritzburg College has had a reputation for constantly producing solid , admirable men – I am proud to be one of these .

I am so grateful for being here at Maritzburg College . I never thought that I would get an opportunity to expand my skills and abilities , to build myself as a person . I used to go to a small school - it had about 200 pupils , one class per grade . There wasn ’ t a lot of sport there so all the boys were forced to do one sport and the girls would do another .
Here at College , I have the opportunity to choose my sport and learn about my future choices . Because of my scholarship , I have the opportunity to make new friends and learn new things . I will never forget this experience !
