Usualy, sports people only receive An Ambassodors Award in the End of their competing careers and personaly, for me this came as an absolute surprise....

i would never have thought that i would ever receive such a prestitious award let alone at the SA dance Championships...

Of course i am not perfect and to say that this award was given to a perfect person would be outrageous...and of course, to even think that this award would or have added exstra pressure on me to be aware of how i conduct myself in future would be a Lie. Nothing has changed and i am just mysself. I would not change because of an award but i am for sure proud and very very happy for the reassons especially WHY it was handed to me...I have always represented SA with great pride and although not with much support and regotnition, it was never really about what i could get back from the SA dancing bodies...only for myself.

In the end, many dancers stop when they feel they not getting anything out, or bad results and then they become bitter, or the usual story called politics....for me...none of the above is the reason why i dance or why i would ever stop...
