2. a. Read about Emma Shepard's gap year experience in South Africa. What benefits did she get during her gap year?

I’ve just returned from spending 6 amazing weeks in South Africa. I stayed at Kwa Madwala, which is just south of Kruger National Park, where we really were surrounded by the wildlife. We often watched giraffes wandering by or antelopes running about. One evening, we saw five hippos lying on the lawn at the end of our driveway, with two little babies that were only about a month old! I will never forget my meeting.

I think by far the most rewarding and inspiring thing of the trip was spending my time at the local orphanage1 in the Hectorspruit Township. The thing that shocked me most when I first visited the orphanage was that none of the children had shoes. I was going to talk to them when I felt someone grab my hand. It was Bobby, a funny little boy with a wide toothless smile. Despite wearing the same clothes every day, those were the happiest children I had ever met. They were so excited to see us. When they saw us coming they would be running from all directions to greet us. Those were the best moments when I could hear them laughing. The children at the orphanage taught me so much about life. They just wanted to be loved, and to have attention, and that’s what I’ve realised is important in life.

Our job at the orphanage was to complete one of the rooms that had been built by one of the previous groups. I can honestly say that I have never worked so hard in my whole entire life–mixing 5 bags of cement with 25 wheelbarrows2 of sand, is something I wouldn’t usually be doing at 7:30 in the morning!

I noticed a huge change in myself. I definitely became a lot braver and more self-confident. I’ve now realised that there is so much that I can do with my life, I don’t just have to be stuck in the normal 9–5 office job; I could actually make a real difference to individuals, families and communities. I’m already starting to plan my next trip away! I would love to go back and do some more teaching and work at the orphanage. I had the best 6 weeks of my life, made the most amazing friends, and have memories that I will treasure for a lifetime!
