It was a big shock to me when I graduated from Bordeaux Primary School to King Edward VII High School. It wasn’t only the fact that I went to boarding school at 13. Or that it was an all-boys school. Or that there were more than a 1000 boys competing for an education. It was that the standards were so high. In primary school I was a big deal (or so I thought). First team cricket. First team soccer (half colours for soccer). Top three in athletics. Intellectually functional with a B+ average. Popular with the teachers and mildly popular with the opposite sex. But I was working off a low base. I was a big fish in a small pond. I doubt there were more than 300 children at the school. Maybe there were 150 boys, all told. At King Edward VII, I became a small fish in a big pond. All I could get into was the D or E team in rugby. I didn’t get the nod for the cricket team. I was offered the position of scorer. I just couldn’t see myself as counting runs when I wanted to make runs. So, I declined. I was an embarrassment in the athletics department. My academic achievements weren’t exemplary. I did, however, crack the nod to join the chess team ... as a reserve. Luckily for me I had a wise mother. She said that she’d love me no matter what. All she expected from me was to try my best. And, that I’d never disappoint her. I failed miserably on the disappointment score. But that’s another story. So, even though I never aced it at school, my self esteem was still intact. I tried my best and that was good enough for me. Not for one second did I feel that I wasn’t good enough. You see, my mother never implied that she’d love me more if I got good marks at school. It didn’t matter to her whether I made the 1st team or not. She thought I was smart, with or without academic colours. She said, “I will love you, no matter what.” That made all the difference. For her, I was enough. And, today I know that’s true. I’m enough. ~ Jacques de Villiers ~ Change Your Story With Jacques de Villiers Who do we help??
