15 May 2012 11:51It takes a special kind of dedication and commitment to help young learners to access the opportunities that will help them jump ahead in life. It is the same kind of dedication and determination which inspires many people to run the 87km of the gruelling Comrades Marathon.

[Jana van Heerden] Lumberjacking is one of those super-manly professions that helps advertisers to sell shaving cream and other masculine paraphernalia. They wear flannel shirts strategically unbuttoned to show some chest hair and occasionally even chop wood. Now I have been to many festivals around our fair country, including even a Sandstone Festival, and with my limited and - I admit - possibly stereotypical image of a lumberjack, it made perfect sense to throw a festival in honour of this outstanding vocation.

[Siphosethu Stuurman] The transition from your happy-go-lucky teenage years to your early 20s can be difficult. While we all need to grow up at some stage, adulthood comes with a lot of dos and don'ts, career stresses and the letting go of certain childhood dreams. I've sadly had to let go of my dreams of becoming a world-famous rock star - the chances of that happening are as good as Bafana Bafana's chances of actually qualifying for any football tournament, let alone winning it!

[Siphosethu Stuurman] It's hard to believe that we have not yet completed the first quarter of 2012, yet the year does not feel so new anymore. A lot of eye-popping, thought-provoking and arousing events have taken place already. Certainly the expulsion from the ANC of the soon to be irrelevant, self-appointed Gucci brand ambassador Julius Malema has been a red hot subject of gossip and debate in the country. And let's not forget Freedom Front Plus leader Pieter Mulder, who literally pissed off a lot of people with his sloppy uttering's on the ever-so-sensitive land issue.

[Jordan Scott] Studying at the AAA School of Advertising has given me the opportunity to go to the Design Indaba Expo for the last three years. Each year I am blown away by the creativity and innovation that moves through the veins of Cape Town, its surrounding areas and the rest of South Africa. What was most interesting about this year's event was that it had a much more "personal" feel to it.
