This is the girl who:
- walks around the house singing "Here Comes the Braai"
- tried to teach her seven-year-old brother chord inversions on the piano
- can find the loophole in any given argument

- received a term mark of 99% in Economic and Management Sciences
- refers to her left nostril as "Reginald" and her right nostril as "Beatrice" (and then informed me that Reginald was not cooperating today as he's rather stuffy.)
- chose Ruby Bridges for the subject of her Hero Speech because "she prayed for the people who were mean to her."
I never, never imagined that having kids could be so wonderful. And the truth is, I think that the soul of a Nobel Laureate lies in each one of us. Everyone is great at something, no matter who they are or where they come from. May we encourage that greatness.
