1. WHERE DO I FIT IN NOW? (200 words)
"I am below the poverty line, earning less than 60% of the median income." According to data from
the South African Labour Development Research Unit , a household income of R48,753 per month
after tax deductions is required to be among the richest 1% of South Africans. My monthly salary is
too low to supplement a family's income, let alone a middle-class family's income; as a result, I
frequently fall into poverty due to the lower income I receive on a monthly basis.
Living in poverty forces us to have little control over our earnings. We are isolated in other jobs
because some opportunities are granted to the wealthy. Inequality is significantly worse than the
poverty we face, implying that there are numerous disparities between the wealthy and the poor.
The wealthy are exposed to many more and better possibilities than the poor. There is a great
disparity in the distribution of resources and opportunity, and we battle to survive every day
because of the difficult times we face in trying to improve our status and get out of poverty. Poverty
forces you to work like a slave for a lower monthly salary than a wealthy person.
Bullying and violence against us and our family are more likely in our current location. You have a
poor individual who is committing crime because they are unable to get work, and they begin to do
things that are frightening to our children. Poverty causes a slew of undesirable behaviors in the
community.
Receiving assistance as the poor can seek help from a variety of sources, including the government,
the community, and friends. Poor individuals have many opportunities to gain talents that wealthier
people would likely never be exposed to, such as agricultural pursuits.
2 .AT THE END OF MY LIFE
I'm leaving a legacy of giving back to the community by serving as a grade 12 assistant for
commercial projects such as math and accounting, among other things. Because some of these
students come from low-income families and their parents cannot afford university tuition, I will be
supporting them with their nsfas registrations. This group of students must be prepared for
university and assisted in passing all of their topics with good grades in order to be eligible for other
private company bursaries.
Encouraging students to be the best they can be in terms of reaching their goals and receiving good
grades during their matric year will develop many students and prepare them for life after matric.
This will also help a lot of students demonstrate their strengths in disciplines where they previously
struggled. Many grade 12 students require more than just classroom time because they are about to
