Sisipho

“I arrived at the hospitality course in March 2022. I learned many important things that would prepare me for my month-long internship at the 12 Apostles Hotel & Spa. I did everything I was told and asked many questions to show my eagerness to learn. Luckily, I was chosen due to my determination, and started off as a switch board operator. After some time, I felt like my time was due and I needed a change, so I asked about front office jobs. I was told I needed to gain confidence and didn’t get the job. I kept pushing, improved myself, applied again, and was given the job this time. My advice to other people that are in my past “shoes” is that if I can do it, so can you!”

“What I learned throughout my journey is to always smile and bring positive energy, ask many questions and maintain a high level of curiosity, and put yourself through situations that force one to improve your confidence. My life has changed drastically, and I have managed to change my family’s life in unimaginable ways. They keep me going through all the tough times. I could not have done it without the Amy Foundation and their help. They laid the foundation which allowed me to succeed in my career.”

The Amy Foundation is very proud to have been able to help out such a remarkable individual accomplish so much in her life.
