My name is Rose-Mary Jansen. I'm 18 years old and my birthday is the 26-10-1999. I finished school last year which was my matrix year.After school i worked at OK Mini Market Albertinia and my duty there was to be a server in the Delhi. I work there for 5 months and started to look for another job which did not happened,so i was unemployed after that 5 months.For me it was really hard to be at home because i do not have any work to go to and also no money to spoil myself.If i wanted any money i must borrow by my sister for money and she will give me but will say i want all my money back,which i did not have at the time. After that 5 months my whole family was very supportive because they saw that i want to give my best but the right opportunity was never there or did never come.Today i'm very proud of myself that i take the chance to come to Chrysalis Academy and that i figured myself out.By meaning that i know now that life out there is not so easy as it seems and that ...

My journey throughout my life….. I am a very shy person, dont like to talk too much. I just like spending time with  my child, i’d rather listen to her crap that she would talk to me than sitting with a group of people that only talk about other people and don't focus on their own lives. Holidays i like to spend my time relaxing at the beach, listening to the waves.being in a silent place, makes you feel at peace. You don't have to stress are shout at anybody. There's   something my late sister use to tell me everyday…. In life you should never focus on other peoples lives, i should only focus on my life. I love chilling out at home and watching tv and listening to music.
