I like to take this moment to express myself in the matter concerns myself, I wouldn't let my failure to discourage me but to encourage, if you fail to do something, know that is not end of the world, to fail is give you chance to correct what you've done wrong, don't focus on negative but focus on positive and don't let anyone to discourage you. People will always talk whether you done wrong/good things but don't let them to discourage yourself, this earth has many challenges that we must pass through so that we will be better men and women in the future. We must not let our past to discourage us, we must not focus on the past, we must focus on present and future to redress wrong things that we/same people done, when you woke up in the morning you forgiven in what you've done yesterday, we learn to accept things that we cannot change. We must not let environment that we live in to discourage us, we must appreciate what we get little/more, we must focus on how we can make South Africa better than it is presently, we must unite so that we will achieve what we want to achieve in side of education and educational matters that concerns us as learners, members of students organization and leadership. We must reject policies/legislatures that not benefit us (students/learners), our education system is very poor especially in the rural areas, villages, farms and township, if we compares township, rural areas, villages and farms education is not equal compared to town education, as young people leadership and members we must correct that inequality that we facing in our country and infrastructure. Once our former COSAS president (HLOLOGELO LETHABO COLLEN MALTJI) sing that powerful song "UNITY IS THE POWER" I belief on that song, we must work as collective to make education fashionable and build healthy environment in our schools, here is the question that I asked myself on day "COSAS is relevant? " yes, is relevant because we have lot to do in terms of education. When it come to service delivery is disaster and we cannot keep quite hence things is wrong. Education is our first priorit as COSAS and we cannot ignore that fact, COSAS must be in all South African schools, when it come History is teaching in our schools is not relevant, History of our schools must be about COSAS and other organizations that fought against Apartheid. Historically COSAS is the first organization to sign Freedom Charter that state that in terms of education "Education shall be free, compulsory, universal and equal for all children; Higher education and technical training shall be opened to all by means of state allowances and scholarship awarded on the basis of merit; the aim of education shall be to teach the youth to love their people and their culture, to honour human brotherhood, liberty and peace".
