Alpheus Makoso from Primrose writes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many teenagers see music as an upliftment or an easy jackpot in life, but it is not true.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Many youngsters in Mzansi dedicate themselves to one thing, which is music, and they end up dropping out of school and chasing the so-called dream.<\/p>\n

It is good to have dreams, but do not let your dreams become your doom.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

And teenagers often use artists as examples of success, for example Cassper Nyovest.<\/p>\n

Many children look up to Cassper and end up following a rap career because Cassper didn\u2019t finish his matric, but yet he is successful, and that is seen as an advantage by most South African children.<\/p>\n

It is not all of us who get the sweetest voice, so let\u2019s discover our true talents and potential.<\/p>\n

Education is a guaranteed jackpot to life.<\/p>\n

If we study, we will be able to overcome most of our financial, physical and political struggles.<\/p>\n

One thing to remember is that education will always be the key to knowledge and success.<\/p>\n
