Cheers to a successful academic year, Vava iYouth!
Hey, guys! As Vava iYouth, we’re here to cheer you on as you smash your goals this academic year. Whether you’re starting out or already deep in the grind, remember you’re the main character—you’ve got this! The road might get bumpy, but with the right mindset and a solid plan, success is yours for the taking.
First things first—don’t be shy about speaking up for what you need. Let your tertiary institution know about your disability so they can hook you up with the right support. Think extended exam time, assistive tech, or even getting lecture notes in accessible formats. It’s all about making sure the playing field is level for you.
Also, don’t sleep on the power of community! Look out for student groups or networks for people with disabilities on campus. These spaces are great for making friends, sharing tips, and finding your tribe. It’s always easier when you know you’re not doing it alone.
Finally, take care of YOU. Self-care is not a luxury. Hustling hard is cool, but your mental health is gold. Find time to recharge, reach out for support when you need it, and don’t forget to celebrate those small wins along the way.
We’re rooting for you—go make this year amazing!
