More information on Quintine Mkhondo: Quintine Mkhondo, an extraordinary student from the University of Pretoria (UP) has graduated at the age of 19. He recently received his degree in Actuarial Science and Financial Mathematics during the University's Autumn Graduation Ceremonies. Quintine's time at UP has not always been easy. His course-load was very challenging, and required him to approach his studies with self-discipline and motivation. He took on his most challenging course-load in his third year, which happened to coincide with the unrest on campus at the end of 2016. This required him to stay focused on his studies despite many distractions. Regardless of all these challenges, Quintine was able to pass all his subjects and now believes that with hard work and discipline he can face any challenge before him.. 'My journey at the University of Pretoria forced me to grow up at a much faster rate than the normal South African teenager, but I don't regret a minute of it,' says Quintine. 'I have grown in so many different aspects of my life, and learned to work hard and never give up on what I want to achieve.'
