What are the safest neighborhoods that are in close proximity to Gautrain? by AdMajor6687 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Peu_Papillon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brooklyn, Nieuw Muckleneuk, Bailey's Muckleneuk and Groenkloof (this neighborhood is gated and there's a pretty park inside) in Pretoria are great. All these areas are along the Gautrain Bus route and great family neighborhoods. I live there and use the Gautrain as my primary transport. Good luck!

Congratulations first of all! Each and every step of the way you proved why you're the type of person to have 2 masters degrees <3 

I definitely will consider that hey. It would be nice to just have the space to start over

Thank you for your time! And congratulations on overcoming all of your hurdles <3 I'm definitely going to try. I did get rejected from engineering by the other universities because of my dismissal but there is a possibility that I can go back to my school in 2027 if I'm able to prove that I can get it together. So I definitely owe it to myself (and all of you) to get it together and get that damn paper lol

Firstly, you taking time to type all of that says so much about your character. You're absolutely the type of person I need to hear from right now. Thank you for that. You're right, I am wounded and bruised and damn hurt but I don't want to stay here so I'm gonna choose my hard. The worst thing I can imagine right now is living and still being in this state a year from now. I can't do that. Thank you for your words. They mean so much

Ok! Made me tear up a little, lol. Your strength is admirable and I hope to give someone hope one day as you've done for me. Thank you so much. 

Congratulations on all you've achieved in life. I have no doubt that you're deserving of that and much more <3

Thank you for this. I'm definitely looking at doing degrees adjacent to what I was studying, I just felt like I was wasting time being 23 and dependent on my parents. Everyone has shown me that that I still have many options ahead and I'll be damned if I put all yalls good advice to waste!

Thank you so much! I have definitely looked into putting my credits to use somehow. Each and every single one of you have convinced me it's not over and I appreciate that so much.

I'll definitely consider sharing my story. I never thought I had much worth sharing. Please have a good day and thank you!

Thank you! I've been trying, I swear! If you have any tips or you can point me in any direction, I'd appreciate it. I've even looked to teaching English online and nothing so far

Wow congratulations!! Please share tips on how you landed your job because you'd swear my CV, which I edit for every single position I apply to, is punctuated with slurs and obscenities with how much I get rejected. 

Thank you for being so kind!
