Why Diploma in IT
Ever since I was a child, I held a deep fascination for technology. I was constantly inquisitive, driven by the need to understand how things were constructed and what drove their functionality. My early attempts at fixing phone software were the seeds of my growing interest. This curiosity evolved even further during my high school years when I realized I could pursue formal education in this field and excel in it. That's when coding became a significant part of my journey. What truly captivated me, though, was the awareness of the substantial income potential this career path offered. However, beyond the financial aspect, my primary motivation remains my genuine passion for acquiring the skills of information technology and continually honing them to become better at what I do.

Internship
A friend of mine, who is currently a student at the University of Pretoria, recommended an opportunity to me. He forwarded me an email he received from my college, and I promptly applied. To my surprise, I received a response within a week, inviting me for an interview. Although the initial interview didn't go as planned, they showed continued interest by reaching out to me for another interview, which eventually led to the internship I am currently engaged in.

Company
