Oosrand Secondary School learner Rendal Daniels has a passion for reading and teaching.
He can’t wait to be a professional teacher to share his passion and make his learners better people.
Daniels told the Advertiser that studying teaching has always been his heart’s desire.
It’s a journey that began in 2016 when he would help his aunt Cheryl-Ann Daniels at the Noncedo Day Care Centre in Ramaphosa, where he resides and grew up, with educating during the centre’s after-care sessions during school holidays.
It doesn’t end here. Unlike most young men, Rendal is a learners with multiple domestic talents, including cooking and baking.
Explaining part of the reasons that lead him to his love for everything literature, he said: “Reading goes hand in hand with understanding, and understanding leads to wisdom.”
Part of the grade 10 learner’s studies is consumer studies because it can only help him better his skills in the kitchen.
“I enjoy cooking and baking. Normally, with family functions we don’t hire caterers, we do it ourselves.”
His mother Matilda Primo is a cook at Noncedo.
Rendal went on to praise one of Oosrand Secondary’s educators, Haroldene Bloem, whom he says is his role model because of her professionalism.
“When I get my first salary, I’m going to put away money and take care of my parents because if it wasn’t for them, I don’t know where I would be.”
Rendel is the third of six siblings.
