1. What is your full name?

My name is Melissa or Mel for short.

2. Do you work or study?

I work as a primary school teacher. Right now, I have been

assigned to teach 4 subjects to a grade 4 class: math, English,
geography and science.

3. Why did you choose this occupation?

I guess I've always had a knack for teaching. I am the eldest of

three siblings and growing up it was basically my job to babysit
my younger sisters and help them with their homework. This is
when I developed the skill of taking complicated topics and
breaking them down into bite sized pieces of information that kids
could easily understand. Even at school, I was always the friend
that everyone else would go to just before a test for help with
difficult concepts.

4. Where are you from?

I am from Krugersdorp, which is a small town in the Gauteng

province in South Africa. It's really off the beaten track, miles
away from the big cities like Johannesburg and Pretoria.

Let's talk about gifts.

5. In your country, when do people give gifts?

Well, where I'm from, people usually exchange presents on

Christmas day, or special days like a person's birthday, wedding
day or anniversary. Basically, all the typical occasions for gift
giving that you would find in most western countries.
6. Is it difficult for you to choose gifts for others?

Yes. To be honest I find the entire gift-giving process quite

stressful for a few reasons. Because I value my relationships and
the people in my life so much, I put a lot of effort into trying to find
the perfect gift for them. This can be quite time-consuming and
exhausting. Also, you can never be sure if you've got the right
price range or not. Most people these days often equate the
amount spent on a gift to the value of their relationship with you.
So, I guess it's quite daunting to think that you might inadvertently
offend someone.

7. Do you give handmade gifts sometimes?

No, not anymore. I do think that gifting a loved one a handcrafted

gift is sweet, but I just don't have the time to do this, I'm too busy.
However, I used to do this often as a child. I would make my own
cards and jewellery for my mother on Mother's Day or her
birthday. She still has quite of few of them after all these years.
