CS MACQUET-MAUREL
Hi everyone,
My name is Candice, I am a wife and mom to two beautiful little girls, Paige (7 years old) and Lexi (5 years old). I live in Kwa-Zulu Natal in a small town called Waterfall where I have lived most of my life. In 2004, I left South Africa and lived and worked in the United Kingdom for 9 years, this gave me the opportunity to travel and see quite a few places in the world. My favourite destination is Mexico, which I would happily visit again. My dream holiday would be to take my girls to Mexico and tie in Disney World at the same time. I returned to South Africa in 2013 and after becoming a mom in 2014, and being out of the job market for 6 years, it gave me time to reflect on what I wanted to do with my life. Teaching has always been interesting to me so I decided to take the plunge and enroll at NWU.
The foundation phase is where my real passion lies, making a difference in a child's life is what I aspire to do. I believe that every child is able to achieve anything that they put their mind to and by helping them figure out what their strengths are is part of my job. School needs to be a place where every child is afforded the same opportunity to learn but have fun while learning. I am currently employed as in intern at a local school and I am based in a Grade 1 class. I receive so much love from the children every day and this just confirms my decision for wanting to teach in this phase - the love that they have for life and having fun is contagious!
In my spare time I enjoy baking, cooking and spending time with my family and friends. I have always wanted to learn how to speak french and crocheting is on my list of things to learn. The craziest thing that I have ever done is gone looking for black tipped sharks whilst snorkelling in Thailand.
As the second semester starts with a barrage of information from all of our subjects, it is comforting to know that a module such as this one will bring out the creative side to our studies. I look forward to seeing what LSKM has to offer and how I am able to add music into my daily teaching.
