Your achievements and how you've carried yourself as a student are also a true reflection of how well you actually manage your time and prioritize! You've even proven to me that I DO have time for academics AND extra-mural activities, especially those of such great value as the programmes mentioned above. Thanks so much for your comment :DSimthandile Mhlambisohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797813149925883752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801974412097906217.post-12300875739426653262014-11-11T10:55:23.473-08:002014-11-11T10:55:23.473-08:00Well said and very important!

As students we certainly enter the university environment with the primary goal to succeed academically, obtain our degree(s) and move on to employment, forgetting that in order to contribute fully to any organizations or society, one needs to develop holistically. This is something I learnt early in my varsity experience and have since then committed myself to holistic development, in attainment of the graduate attributes. Students are often skeptical when it comes to committing to extra-mural activities such as the programs mentioned above as they fear that it may take too much of their time and that their academics may suffer. Interestingly enough I found that the more I participated in these development programs, the better I got at managing my time, prioritizing and working with people from diverse backgrounds. These (and so much more!) all actually improved the way I tackled my academic work and ultimately led to greater results! So I would challenge all students and prospective students to get involved in at least one development program and see the difference in just one year!
