This is the story of a student who allows us to be a part of her journey in proving that failure will never be her destination. Through the 9/10ths programme, she shines light of her experience of being a part of the RUCE community and being awarded an opportunity to mentor Grade 11s and Grade 12 high school learners. Chido Chatikobo gives us in insight on what is the 9/10ths programme and what is it like to be a mentor in such a programme. She mentions that opportunities like this were really rare during her high school days, and therefore she has made it her mission to help Grade 11s and 12s.
