Rachel Kolisi heads back to school: "I'm officially a student - again"
Rachel Kolisi says she has wanted to study for a long time and she is finally taking the plunge.
Rachel Kolisi has revealed that she will be furthering her education in 2022. The 30-year-old, who is married to Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, says she is "officially a student - again".
"I’ve been wanting to study for a long time now, but just haven’t had the opportunity, finally decided to take a dive and do it," she wrote on Instagram.
Rachel is not only a mom of two but she also helps take of Siya's younger siblings, Liyema and Liphelo. She is also a businesswoman.
Rachel says she's working on finding the perfect balance now that she has added "student" to her many titles.
"Still trying to figure out how I’m going to manage everything. Hope you manage to spend some time getting pen to paper and setting some goals for yourself, remember a dream without a plan is just a dream."
She also thanked her followers for their support and positive messages in 2021. "Honestly you guys are amazing and I appreciate your support so much, I’m sorry I don’t tell you enough," she wrote.
Rachel is yet to reveal what she will be studying.

The road ahead will be tough, but Rachel is up for the challenge. She revealed in an earlier Instagram post that giving up is not an option.
"I just heard this comment “imagine what could happen if you don’t give up.” And it stirred something in me, in a season that has been FULL of temptations to stop and give up no matter how big or small, I chose rather to rest and then get up and go again," she wrote.
Rachel revealed that she experienced one of her busiest periods last year, but was careful not to waste any precious time.
"I’ve also learnt what is worth my time and energy, and what isn’t. We live in such a fast-paced world, and it’s super important to protect our joy and peace and if that means saying no to some things, it’s worth it."
Rachel will be well-rested ahead of a busy 2022. She enjoyed some downtime in Botswana with Siya and their children over the festive season.
The family also went on a mini-island vacation. Here's a look at some of their holiday snaps.
