Derryn Short
Integrity, honesty, loyalty and hardworking are not only professional characteristics of mine but are values that form part of the person I am. I have a nothing is impossible philosophy on life and feel that any goal is reachable if you only reach out for it.
Show profile Hide profileI am community conscious and believe in making a difference. To set about bringing change to the community I signed up to become a police reservist. Unfortunately due to a country wide moratorium my plans to curb crime are on hold. However to continue my service to impoverished and underprivileged communities in need of assistance I will be partaking (afterhours, once a week) in a counseling community center project in Bosmont at the beginning of 2014.
I am a runner. I have completed a number of marathons (42.2kms) and ultra-marathons (50kms+). I ran Comrades for the first time in 2013 (87kms) finishing just outside the required 12 hour time limit by 12 minutes, missing my medal. However I am back on the road again, running better than ever before awaiting my opportunity to get my Comrades 2014 medal.
I am a writer. I am always so moved by the work that the Randburg reservists do that I have on many occasions been inspired to write articles reporting on their duties and successes. My articles were then published in The Star on a number of occasions, one of which, to my surprise, featured on National Police Day 2009. Through my writing I have also been selected on numerous occasions as a prize winner in various competitions.
I believe nothing is impossible with right positive attitude and determination.
