First Years

By Zindi van Zyl

This year, I had the privilege of welcoming an amazing group of ladies to Kasteel.

We had athletes who crushed it on the field, artists who brought colour and creativity to our halls, bookworms who devoured knowledge and wisdom, and wild cards who kept us on our toes!

Together, we formed a vibrant tapestry of personalities, passions, and strengths. I watched in awe as these incredible individuals grew, learned, and lifted each other up.

We laughed, we cried, and we navigated the year's ups and downs together.

Through it all, I saw the beauty of our differences and the power of our unity.

To my Kasteel sisters, I'm so grateful to have shared this journey with you. I started off the year with so many things to teach you, and somewhere along the way - I think you taught me more.

Even though the year has ended, I will still be a proud friend cheering you on. This may sound cheesy and over used, but nothing captures the relationship between us like the saying: "I will be forever yours, and you will be forever mine." First years 2024, thank you for everything.

All my love,

Zindi van Zyl
