The time has come. (Insert your favourite hype song)    

 

My name is Glen and I’ll be a 4th year MBChB student that always has time for a coffee with people and is always keen for a lekker trip to the beach. I am the member of the HK with the best job… looking after the residents' wellbeing and supporting the HK and Prim! And, along with some of my best friends… we’ll make sure that all the newcomers feel as at home as we do at eNkanyini. 

Yup, that’s right folks, my entire job description is to be there for you! I’ll be your first point of call and the first open door if you need something, or like I said… just want some coffee. 😉 

I’m sitting here writing this and I am bursting with excitement. It wasn’t that long ago that I was in your position. I remember getting that phone call to say that I was accepted and it’s a moment and a feeling I will never forget. It feels like it was yesterday…  

With that being said, I know exactly how you must be feeling now! It’s a strange conglomeration of emotions ranging from an air of apprehension to cautious optimism to absolute elation and the sudden urge to crack the biggest smile in public and risk looking like an absolute chop…  

If I could have a one-on-one chat with each of you before you arrive, this is what I would tell you:  

There is so much to look forward to and such incredible things coming your way very soon. It’s going to be a jump. For some of you a bigger jump than for others… but a jump none the less. However, if there was one thing that I could not be more certain of, is that you’ve got one of the nicest groups of people I have ever met waiting with open arms to see to it that you land safely on the other side.  

All you need to do is come with an open mind, come hungry to make memories and come ready to start one of the best chapters in your story. 

You’ll hear it a lot (that must mean it must be true), but you really do find that the people here become your second family and coming from far away myself, I know how valuable that really is. I became the Vice-Primarius because I want this incredible place to feel like a home away from home for each of you.  

 

AND SUDDENLY YOU JUST KNOW IT’S TIME TO START SOMETHING NEW AND TO TRUST IN THE MAGIC OF BEGINNINGS.  

​

Until we finally meet, please know that if you want to know anything or even just say “Hi” you’re more than welcome to shoot me a message.
