Bonolo was a brilliant student from his primary school and he performed exceptionally well in his academics and as a result he got an A for his PSLE. However, things took almost a wrong twist when he started his junior school, he found himself struggling to fit in to the new environment and this drastically affected his marks. He began to make friends with students who displayed ill behaviour and sometimes he would try by all means to imitate them just to fit in. He gave his school work less attention and spent his time with friends. His aunt constantly advised him to change his bad behaviour but he did not listen instead he disrespected and called her undesirable names. Due to his ill behaviour, he would only obtain an overall grade of B or less. It was during this time that his mother introduced him to Gospel of God’s Grace Ministries, and she would always send PPS messages to encourage him.
The messages of the man of God encouraged Bonolo to study hard and gradually he started to experience a tremendous change in his academics. He managed to get an A for his Junior Certificate examination and received an award for second best in Setswana and Science; above all he received the best student in region. Though he did exceptionally well Bonolo still felt that he could do much better. He got admitted in Gaborone to proceed with his BGCSE at Naledi Senior School and this gave him an opportunity to fully enrol in the PPS initiative. Due to this Bonolo made self- introspection and decided to pave his way to excellence through obeying the messages that Prophet Cedric shared with them during PPS (PROPHET PARENTS and STUDENTS) meetings.
“During one of the PPS meetings with the Man of God, Prophet Cedric said that we should keep our dreams alive and I was inspired to entirely devote myself to my studies more than I did at Junior School as I had a dream of excelling in my studies.”
Bonolo immediately began to work hard when he started his form 4 at Naledi Senior School, he studied as if it all depended on Him and prayed as if it all depended on God. He also maintained good character against all odds and pursued his dream of academic excellence. As a result, his hard work, genuine willingness plus God’s ability gave birth to a miracle. For His first examination he managed to get 48 Points, and was awarded with many prizes for his brilliant academic performance during the mid year; best student in Additional Mathematics, Agriculture, Biology and Chemistry and overall best in his class. Among the various awards that he has received since he joined PPS were 3 laptops and vouchers worth up to P2700.00 during prize giving.
