From a point of departure according to my understanding, students find it challenging to manage their time. Choosing between social lives and making time for studies becomes a dilemma for students as they tend to prioritise their social life. Too late, they realise the value of time management. Time is a very crucial thing in our lives. First a second passes, and then a minute in a blink of an eye an hour has passed. Indeed time lost is never regained.

Thirty one (31) year old Tumi Bulunga had always been goal driven from a tender age. Born and bred in Soshanguve Pretoria, he was born to academics, his mother being a teacher and the father a school principal. Tumi then had to excel academically. He became like any other pupil at Tshwane Christian School which created the fear he now has for God. He describes the school as being ideal on its teachings. He furthered his higher education in Hillview High School where he says he was mocked for his stuttering which created a low self-esteem. He did not stop there; he did his diploma in Journalism at Varsity College. Bulunga describes the two years at the institution as [the best]. He commends the institution as it ...
