I am a 17 year old, and I live in Kwamashu near Durban, South Africa. I am about to go into my final year in high school and I'm studying:English, Afrikaans, Biology, Geography, Business Economics and Accounting. For the past year, I have been reporting for the youth page of the Daily News which is Durban's biggest daily paper. I hope to become a journalist. I'm very interested in conservation because we have big problems with pollution and caring for the natural resources in our country. I hope that I will be able to report on the Africa/US Energy Minister's Conference 2000, taking place in Durban next week. Some of the subjects I have written about are Teenage morality, The relevence that school has to our future professions and life, the serious problem of HIV/AIDS South Africa, and yes as always being a typical teenager, I have reported on fashion trends and reigning beauty queens, cultural and pop groups. My favourite sports are soccer and basketball, in primary school I used to beat all the boys in soccer tournaments!
