Sensational story- My 17 years of Life

Cape town. Current place of residence. Oh boy do I la la love it here:) The gale force wind. The tabletopped mountain. The stunning beaches. The warmth of the locals. The iridescent culture. It's all so overwhelmingly satiating, especially for a ex nomad like me. I've attended 10 schooling institutions and have had to continually adapt to the people and settle in as aptly as possible. It's been one heck of a journey. Born in Britain yet accustomed to South African ideals from a young age. Lekker, tho incorrectly pronounced, has been a part of my vocab for as long as my memory exists :'D It's my mothers patriotic persona that stayed unswayed during her time in Britain. Her views of England as a mundane thorn of dear quaint Europe were a great influence whilst growing up. My father however existed as the contrast, with his practical ideals, he kept me grounded and somewhat faithful to my country of birth. The up and down motions of my family makes it difficult for me to truly identify myself as purely British or purely South African. Possessing citizenship of both makes me legally intermediate too. Forgive the cliche but I honestly am a individual whose heart resides with two. I owe much to the life enriching people, places and experiences I've encountered as a result of living in both countries. In the near future, with my eyes set on a degree at UCT it seems Cape Town is definitely the semi-permanent placement. After that who knows where fate will lead me:)
