“I am Sonia Wheeler, I am an only child who live with my father, step mom and her children. My father lost his job a year after my matric and my daughter’s birth. So, yes we are struggling. Imagination lab has opened an opportunity for me and I want to take up Psychology as a career, funnily enough FACE has made my dream even brighter. I need FACE to help me cultivate my dream. If I were given a chance to do something in my life, make it better and give it meaning. I honestly feel this is the route I would love to travel. I’m a mother as well and as a youth I’m aware of problems we have. I’d love to make it better to change the pathway for my own toddler.” Sonia Wheeler
