Ms. Nompikazi Majola

“Once upon a time, it was Math, but AP Calculus is kicking me hard”, Nompi says about her favorite class. Nompi reflects back on her Math ‘journeys” and though she knows she’ll be more prepared this fall, she is feeling the pressure now! Always optimistic and the unofficial high school cheerleader, Nompikazi Cikizwa Majola was born in Lusaka and is from Johannesburg, South Africa. Nompi joined ISD in January 2006 and has since established herself an assertive, resourceful leader on campus. As she did here on campus, Nompi is looking forward to joining the soccer and basketball teams this fall, as well as the drama club. As she gets ready to graduate high school in a few weeks, Nompi is looking forward to “freedom, independence and just growing up.” One word to describe Ms. Majola: enthusiastic! Her friends describe her as unpredictable and her teachers describe her as positive, cheerful and responsible. A style-icon, dancer and poet, Nompi has shared many of her inspirational works at various community events.

Since I met Nompi, she has been kind of all over the mapJ. I remember at one point, she was interested in studying in Egypt or France, then there was a period of deep interest in Spain. But today, Ms. Majola has settled on the UK, at least for now. Nompi was admitted into Richmond University, the University of Lancaster and the European Business School, all in the UK. For her years of academic discipline and diligence, Nompi was awarded a £24,000 merit scholarship by Richmond University and will be enrolled as a Presidential Scholar this fall. Always adventurous and open-minded, Nompi found a unique way of blending all her interests into one major/course – International Business, with Languages. Always with an open-mind - Nompi was named co-captain of the Girls Soccer Team. A great team-player, Nompi attributes her achievements to her mother, who she describes as independent, hard-working and a great role-model of success. Though her days in Dakar are numbered, Nompi is not the type of student to look at situations as final, more so as continuous or a steeping stone to other things. So, though she will miss her easily-accessible servings of Bissap, Thiebu diene and Yogo Glacé, she feels grateful for all she is taking away.

Ms. Nompikazi Majola What is Nompi going to miss about ISD and high school…the annual Elementary School Lock-IN! The wild-crazy-fun sleepover for almost fifty elementary students was a major highlight in Nompi’s last year and though she admits there were some “scary” moments, the simple fun was memorable. Nompi’s words of wisdom to her underclassmen peers, “you should work throughout high school, starting in the 9th grade. Trust me, it will pay off in the end,” says the young lady who is considered the rock that keeps everyone steady, focused, and smiling. Nompi, thank you for your cheerful and yes-we-can attitude! We all wish the very best at Richmond, and beyond~

Congratulations
Find Nompi here fall 2009~
