POV: Learner asks mom for an exam care package

As learners embark on their final examinations, we have noticed many parents and siblings providing them with the necessary support and well wishes for 2024. 

Many parents have shared pictures on social media of gift baskets, or 'exam care packages', as many people call them. These care packages are filled with stationery and snacks; some even have energy bars and personalised coffee mugs. 

One young man in Grade 9 shared the exam care package his mother gifted him. It wasn't just caring but also super practical. Mom taught him a key lesson here: Always lead by being pragmatic.

• "At least you have an exam care package."
• "In grade 12 I asked her, she said I must explain what a study package is. I explained thoroughly and then she gave me R300 and said I must get a box and go around town and buy those things myself."
• "It's the thought that counts; thank you, Mom."
• "I asked my mom why she never got me one, and she said its cause I've passed every year without one and if i get one I'd fail."
