KICKED OUT OF UNIVERSITY | From Academic Failure After Failure to UCT Graduate
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- I once got kicked out of university and in this video I share my story of all my various failures that ultimately led to academic exclusion from UCT. I did eventually manage to obtain a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Cape Town.
This video is dedicated to all those who are battling academically and it is my hope that by me sharing my story, you will find the courage to continue fighting for your dream.

I'm just waiting for an email from UCT to officially say that you're not eligible to continue because I know i have already failed 4 modules out of 6. I'm a second year BSc student. I don't even know what to say during appeal because I just failed due to inconsistent studying. I wish I could get a second chance and fix my mistakes
Edit: I got excluded, however they readmitted me. I only lost funding. It is going to be a stressful year without funding, but I will be on top of my game academically. Thank you again for such an inspirational video. I don't know many times I come to watch this video, mind you I tried to like twice
I pray that everything will work out for you in the end 🙏🏽
@@KayRadebe Thank you
Tips on how to get your appeal successfu???
Tips please ❤️
hey I want to know how you successfully appealed
I still cannot talk about my university experience because WOW. Thank you for sharing
It was tough to not cry while making this video because shuu what a traumatizing experience! But we did it girl!!!! 🎓🎓🎓
I understand! Worst part, I am lying about my truth
@@muntutladi9702 same....
I always saw you on campus. It’s so interesting to put a story to the face. Sometimes we assume that we are the only ones going through problems and that everyone around us is fine. It’s encouraging sometimes to know that you aren’t the only person going through problems.
Yes there are definitely many more of us out there all going through the same thing 🙏🏽
Still having a tough academic year & truly exhausted but your story is inspirational. Congrats on all your success. ❤️
Thank you Phozi ❤️
Hey Kay
Inspiring story , so Many ppl go through the same thing. May I ask What study methods you used to get by ?
This is inspiring dynamics is the pits just failed by a 45 and I’m soooo demotivated Yho !
Girl I graduated from UCT. I didn't want to go to graduation and couldn't talk about it for about 2 years after. Really difficult experience. Thanks for sharing yours.
The toughest experience! But well done for pushing through ❤️
I can relate. UCT alumni here!
Is it because of the trauma .?
This sounds exactly like my story. The downward spiral started in my 2nd year, but I'm still pushing. Failing, probation and exclusion are so tough to deal with mentally. Thank you for sharing.
Ashely it doesn’t matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop ❤️
Ashley ,push on brother ✊🏾..
Most of us were struggling with imposter syndrome at UCT, but there was no space to discuss that, because of this notion that ABSOLUTELY ONLY the cream of the crop is accepted to study there & it’s hard if you don’t view yourself that way.
We also underestimate the psychological & emotional turmoil we go through while trying to get that paper, I only understood it after graduating.
Congrats for sharing what most of us don’t have the courage to talk about ❤️
This comment is so spot on! Thank you for sharing ❤️
I share the same sentiments. I think we couldn’t put into words our experiences whilst still being students
I felt that way while at Wits. I didn't really feel like I belong
This is so true
Oh my gosh, this is 100% true for me, I felt like a fraud, first yr. Chem eng at uct was very daunting. I was a straight A student in high school because I used to work so hard. I felt in my first yr. Of uni like I just made it in and am not really smart. What's worse I took to heart alot of what people used to say about even smart people failing. It was hard.
I just found out that I have been academically excluded and I'm doing my third year in mechanical engineering... I feel so numb because I honestly tried my best.. I don't know how I'm going to tell my family.. I am so scared and I feel like a failure.. I feel like my whole life is over and now I have to appeal.. I just pray that I will be accepted back into the university to finish my degree 😭💔
Your life is not over. You'll be fine in the end
Yoh babes😭any update?
Hey babes. Any update please? Talk to us.
Any updates babe
hey how are u now
I was a first year mathematical sciences student last year and was at a verge of being excluded because of failing close to every course that I did 😭and I was demotivated,this video is by far the raw video I've been looking for it's showing me its possible and I am promising myself to work harder this year❤️Thank you
Hang in there dear, all will be well. I'm doing Master's at UCT and every day i remind myself that it's possible because it's Doable, one day is one day, love and light to you 💐💐💐💐💞💞
Yes I'm doing Mathematics and Statistics
I was excluded from one Uni and then was 'at risk' for my next. I was so distraught and close to giving up, but I kept reminding myself that behind every success story are countless failures. It took me so many tries, but eventually I got rid of my defeatist attitude and started to look at every journey positively. I focused not on the things I didn't do, but what I did do. Each of these 'failures' taught me valuable things that I know my future self would thank me for. I just see it as me taking the scenic route and God paints me as a dramatic main character of a story! Your story brought so much comfort to my heart, you're a strong and resilient woman. You go girl!
You are proof that you can do anything you want only if you put your mind to it and you are also proof that God is always with us .Thank you for this inspirational story,Thank you so much 😭😭😭😭😭
🥺❤️🙏🏽
This was so nice took me back to my most difficult year in university. If university doesn’t break you nothing will 😁
Hei wena honestly! 😅 but pushing through is the best feeling ever
The parts of uni no one tells us about😪I’m in second year and I’m going through the most I wish people around me were more transparent about how university really is.
What an inspirational story!😭I've always passed with distinctions throughout highschool. Came first year i was average but was able to bag in two distinctions. Came second year 2021, i was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and panic disorder my grades went so low that i got 2.0 GPA in every module or 3.0 GPA for two modules ive been so sick, almost having panic attacks everytime. Am at uj studying PSYCH degree and still in dark hole of my diagnosis even now! Third year in 2022 its hard i can't even get out of bed, attend lectures, being proactive with my modules etc. I'll start therapy soon and my meds i hope God helps me gives me strength.
Ohh next year am hoping to start my dream degree LLB via Unisa 🙏🏾. Hoping for the best.
🥺🥺🥺🥺 studying med....1st year was okay for me, in the middle I was diagnosed with Major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. My symptoms got worse.....then got diagnosed with bipolar disorder. That's when it went left. Currently in my second year and I'm failing don't know if I'll make it to 3rd year😭 but I'm on medication now and I'm feeling better just don't know if I'll make it to 3rd year. Thank you for sharing. How are you now?
@Amahl Abrahams hey, how are you doing?
All the best for your LLB at unisa I got suspended in my final year last year October what a tough journey after 5 years of hard work I feel hopeless and very depressed . The university journey is very difficult and traumatic I wouldn’t wish it on anyone imagine getting suspended right after writing your final module and being suspended for two years yoooh!!!
how are u doing now ?😢
Currently in the same page , I cany get out of bed and I am always on my phone as everything else does not make sense .
Tysm for this story.❤️✨ I had academic struggles too in my first year and I really wish people talked more openly about this because feeling alone + imposter syndrome really had me ready to quit this degree (and life in general lol).
My mom, like yours pushed me to keep trying and now I'm 2 seconds from being a qualified medical doctor!
Hey Kay. I have a very similar story. In 2016 i didn't get into UCT but was accepted into tuks. Did well there and completed the first year with 68%. My brother however got into medicine at UCT and so i applied to transfer and eventually got in.
I also started from the beginning again and finished my first year off in the engineering faculty with 61%. However in my second year things didn't go well for me and i ended up failing 2 courses, didn't get academically excluded but i really felt the impact of those fails. The next year also didn't go the best and i ended up failing another course. After my third fail i told myself i couldn't afford to fail another class and so my marks started improving over the next 2 years. After 6 years I am finally graduating with a cumulative average over 60%.
Your story was very inspiring and shows that hard work and determination do pay off in the end. All the best .
Congratulations on graduating 🎓💃🏽
What engineering where you doing?
@@morrisnkomo3885 Electrical and Computer Engineering
@@lunarjournal oh my word same , if you don't mind could you please tell me the name of those two courses as i too am going too second year next year and would really appreciate a heads up, furthermore if you do happen to have tips i am completely open to listening
Did u have a bursary?
Wow, I love the vulnerability. It must have been extremely challenging to record this video. I love that you kept on pushing for your dream! I'm super proud of you and I'm happy you met this loving angel. Continue inspiring us.
It's amazing the work that you've been doing. I'm a first year student at UCT at the age of 22 and can relate to this story one way or another.
It took me 4 years to get here. I'm inspired, I hope it goes well.
God Bless.
Thank you so much for kind words and congratulations for being at UCT! I hope you enjoy your time there as much as I did ❤️
legit just came across this video coincidentally last night and when I woke up,I rewatched it. It is exactly what I needed to be honest because I also didnt do well in my first semester so the University deemed me ineligible to study my Medicine.. I can totally relate to how I also spent so much time being so insecure such that I did not even put in the work,hence the fail because I disqualified myself before the University actually did. like you said, I ended up checking out mentally and would even walk into an exam so dry(unprepared) because I had mentally checked out. but this video has given me hope. I feel more optimistic after watching it,Its time for me to introspect and reflect on what I should improve. thank you so so much,God bless you for sharing this.
I’m so sorry to hear about your challenges but I’m wishing you all the best ❤️
@@KayRadebe thank you so much. Again,God bless you. I keep re-watching your video. What you said is always at the back of mind.
I resonate with this so deeply
My niece is starting 10th grade. I sat her down and made her watch this for the insane inspiration that you've packed into this video. Thank you and congratulations on your success!
She's in grade 11 now. What does she wanna apply for?
@@anthonytesla8382 she said no one dreams of work and she'll find a man to take care of her. no i'm not kidding.
@@africa_explained_tv 😂this is just insanity. I'm sorry to hear your plight. How are things looking academically?
@@anthonytesla8382 she's doing well actually, but with maths lit...
@@africa_explained_tv Maybe she could be a doctor by bridging through nursing into medicine. 😅but this one of a rich man is a no no
I actually started following you after seeing your graduation pictures on Twitter and I remember feeling so affirmed and validated that another black girl could do it because I was actually fighting the same battles in that exact department and degree. Thank you so much for sharing your story, it's so validating seeing that it's not always a smooth journey for everyone because it often looks like a breeze for everyone around you. Thank you so much for this video
This is one of my favourite comments! Way more people struggle with the same issues but we’ve been taught to struggle in silence. Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Kay.
Mine is sooooo different 😂
I struggled academically in high school, which elongated my academic journey(I started in a TVET college and then finally managed to get into UJ).
I used to feel inadequate, because my age mates are advanced in their careers and I'm still trying to figure out what to do and how to accomplish it.
Thank you so much Kay
Amanda all that matters is that we never gave up! ❤️❤️❤️
Do you know of any other universities that accept kids coming from TVETs because that's the case with me right now
@@siyethembamthimkhulu7986 TUT, VUT and other technical universities accept students from TVET colleges.
Resilience is key! Thank you for this gem of a video. Reminder that our dreams are valid!! There's so much more here, keen for more content around your experience
You’re so right Mandisa! Thanks for this feedback ❤️
Thank you for sharing this, and allow me to encourage others also: I failed my O-levels (2003), then retook them. I started my A-levels (2004) and dropped out of my first semester as I struggled with my mental health. I went back in 2005 and barely passed. I started uni in 2007, but failed in my second year due to mental health, and had to repeat (2008 and 2009). I took an exit award after my first year with a qualification that was equivalent to completing a 1st year of undergrad, so I'd wasted 4 years of my life. I worked for a few years, became a flight attendant and travelled the world. My heart wanted to go back to school but I didn't want to start from scratch again. Then I had a mental breakdown with psychosis in 2019, and that changed everything because it forced me to get the help I needed, and I found Jesus during that time. Even though I had to start from scratch again at my big age, my breakdown taught me life was too short, and I couldn't let my fears keep me from moving forward. I went back to school at 35 years old to study O level maths (2021), then an accelerated A level program at 36 (2022). I started university. studying cellular and molecular medicine in 2023 and theology at a bible college as well! I just passed my first year of both which was a huge shock because studying two degrees will kill you lol. 20 years after my o-levels, I would not have believed I would one day become a scientist or trainee pastor but God had other plans. I graduate theology next year, and i'll be 40 when I graduate from medicine. God is so unbelievably good, and as Kay said, a dream deferred is not a dream denied! I'm broke, unemployed, and most days, I don't have a plan for my next meal yet somehow, God provides. You can absolutely do this!
This is a fantastic video, thank you so much for posting it. As someone who helps failing students at a University in Australia, this is excellent. Congratulations on your success. Your resilience and persistance really paid off. I hope more students who are experiencing rejection and failure watch this.
This is my second time watching this video, first time it was in 2021 ( my second year) . I am at UCT, doing Civil Engineering, r. First time I saw this video, It was during a period where I was going through mental health issues due to my academics and thinking i will be academically excluded and I was thinking of taking a leave of absence, but a friend of mine advised me otherwise and now I am watching this video for the second time. and now it is 2023, and I am in my final year, just submitted my Thesis, and left with submitting the poster). I thought I would not make it in RECORD time also. GOD DID!!!!
I’m so proud of you!! Congratulations 🥳 🎓🎓🎓🎓
Hello
Can you please tell me the minimum marks required for engineering at uct I am worried
Of my marks coz I have level 7 math and level 6 in physics but not that fbs uct require can you please give me some info about that
Your story is so inspirational ...I went through the same at UP, difference is I ended up leaving it and now I'm in Education at unisa... I'm pushing myself hard to get to where I want to be😀
Good for you for not giving up! Wishing you all the best ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for Sharing your story. I went through some struggle but I'm not ready to share. I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who was being insecure about not feeling the sense of belonging at UCT
It’s definitely a very common feeling that no one really speaks about
What an inspiring story! We tend to focus so much on our insecurities and not just put in the work, thank you for sharing, you've definitely helped me 🙌
We really do sometimes let our insecurities take over hey 😅 glad you enjoyed the video ❤️
I just also got excluded for the second time from Civil engineering 1st year at TUT and have been feeling like the world is over . Words can't explain it but thanks for sharing your story , it really motivate me not to give up on this dream ! :) Great content
Yes please never give up on your dream 🙏🏽
I thought about ending it
Did matric 2018 and was only able to go to varsity in 2021 for something I never even considered nor applied for. It was honestly a traumatic year UFS just broke me. Passed 50% of my modules and still got academically excluded. I appealed but it was rejected . I could try appeal again but at that point I was just numb to everything and I did not appeal again. Now I am applying to other universities for 2023 hopefully it works out. This just helped my soul... getting into varsity I was never aware of academic exclusion and when I found out I just thought it would never happen e me and when it did it honestly broke me given that I was already mentally not ok.
So sorry to hear this Don’t worry everything will be fine ❤ all the best
I relate to you so much😔
@@creatingwithnaledinova8005 hopefully it gets better for you or you get through it🥰
@@TheLeloM did you apply to other universities? Did you use your academic record or your matric certificate
@@neliswalehloma yeah I applied to other varsities and got accepted to five . I'm currently at the university of Western Cape. I used my matric results
YOU ARE A CHAMPION! Top stuff! Thank you for sharing Kay - powerful testimony (Matthew 10:32, Luke 12:8)
Lutfo!! So lovely to see you here. Thanks for sharing these verses, I will have a read 🙏🏽❤️ I hope you’re keeping well
your story just gave me hope i am academically excluded as we speak and i pray that all goes well am so heart broken and feel like i failed such a small task and the opportunity that i was given to study..i can not even tell my mother because i dont want the disappointment look on her face.
I know this feeling very very well. Please hold on to the little hope you have because I promise you that “this too shall pass”. Varsity is no small task and 2020 was a tough year so please don’t be so hard on yourself. I hope you find the strength to pick yourself up and try again ❤️
Wow, your story is very inspirational. I'm not a Uct I'm in my 3rd year at MUT and I'm also going through some problems especially with finances and personal problems at home which are affecting my academic performance. Your story gives me hope that I can also overcome the challenges and graduate. I also neglected church so that I can focus more on my studies but now I realise that without God I can do nothing. 🙏Thank you for sharing your story.❤️🧑🎓
I have a rough academic year this year because of anxiety disorder but I got help now but still I feel like my academics took a huge hit and this video makes me have hope. I am a UNISA student and I hope I will be accepted after the appeal. Thank you for sharing this. You have no idea how many people this helps. God bless you😍
All the best with your appeal 🙏🏽
@@KayRadebe thank you
I just watched this video today and I'm so inspired by you . I was one of the girls you mentored at Langa High, the one who weared spectacles.I'm currently at UCT doing my 3rd year in Bcom Management Studies and I can certainly relate to your story .
Noluncumo it’s so great to hear from you! Do you have Facebook? Please send me a message on Facebook so that we can exchange phone numbers, I would love to speak to you ❤️
@@KayRadebe yes I do have Facebook .
Am I the only one who shed a tear? 😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😭😢😢😢😭 Yhuuuu girl
❤️❤️❤️
Well done Kay for completing the degree❤️❤️your story is inspiring.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽
Thank you for your story❤. "Learning to work hard" is something we don't talk about a lot but it is such a key aspect of being successful in anything.
This is my biggest fear right now being on academic probation. The anxiety during the semester is ridiculously debilitating and none of my friends or families know. As someone who has always put my worth around how well I perform, especially academically it’s been tough and the shame feels embedded in me. I needed to see others who are in this situation and what it was like for them on the other side
Thank you for being so vulnerable, it gives me hope
I can relate, and I am proud of you for not giving up on your dreams. ❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
This whole story is definitely something a lot of students need to see❤️❤️❤️The motivation at the end🙏🏾❤️Definitely God pulls through ❤️Thank you so much💗
I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏽
Awwwww Kay ❤️
This is amazing
May the Lord continue to bless you in abundance and keep sharing your story
Thank you so much Oyama 🙏🏽
Wow, I really needed to hear these words today. As a UCT final year student, thank you for reminding me why I want this degree. x
Go get it Reneilwe! And please send me a DM on Instagram when you’re done :)
Back again to give you all the good news,finally completed my graduation.What a relief now!
That’s amazing! Congratulations 🥳
You’re absolutely gorgeous and congratulations on making it through! Your resilience is admirable and I have great respect for you for not only sharing but because of your willingness to help others too. Bless your heart 🤍

Thank you and all the best to you!
I literally needed see to this. AT THIS VERY MOMENT!!!!
so inspirational ❤️
I’m so glad ❤️
Side note: You’re such a good story teller
You know going into this video I thought here we go again another person just trying to get my attention, but as I listened and watched I realize she's talking a lot of sense and I have to say thumbs up. I love this video so much, I can tell a lot of thought has been put in the making of it.
Haha thanks for being honest about being skeptical 😂 I’m glad I didn’t prove you right 😅 thank you 🙏🏽
Honestly this is what I needed after iv been struggling mentally to a point where I didn't make it but this is a lift honestly thank you
🙏🏽❤️
hello! i told my father today i wanted to drop out after almost 1 year of university (online, might i add) i cannot begin to explain how much university and its workload has kicked my ass, along with all the mental struggles and whatnot. online classes has affected me so bad to the point where i am on the verge of being suspended due to module failures. i'm still very much overwhelmed right now, but this was what i needed to reassure me that it will get better, and i can try again. thank you
Yes you can do it!! ❤️
I feel you Sarah,same with me 😢
Wow. Your story brought tears to my eyes......thank you for sharing your truth.
Thank you for watching ❤️
Kay😓😓😓😓you were specifically called for me,I bitterly cried after watching this video last night because of academic challenges I’ve had over the decade and this is similar,I jus realized that I need help,I’m not ok,I really broken.wish I could have a personal encounter with you,it would help a great deal.please keep on doin this,I am responding to your purpose cos I watched a few vids and wow,exactly the info I wanted and made me cry as well.you are a miracle to me right now.love you loads❤️🌹
Sending you all the love ❤️❤️❤️
As much as I am still in high school this really motivated 😭❤thank you
I’m so glad to hear that 😊
It’s good that you’re hearing it now, so you go in better prepared than us. ❤️
I’m doing well academically but I’m watching your video to reassure myself that if anything does go wrong, it is not the end. You are such an inspiration! I wish you the best of luck
Good for you for being so proactive! You’re definitely going to make it ❤️
These onions! This is the content that today's world needs to remind us that anything worth having requires dedicated hard work. Real success will never be instant. Thank you for sharing your empowering story... I know it will heal so many and encourage those still going thru challenges to keep fighting. Great job 🖤🙏🏾
Thank you so much ❤️
when you said if your friends and parents don’t tell you it’s okay, it’s okay ❤️ thank you
Usually I don't watch long videos because i end up getting bored but your story is so motivational that i couldn't stop watching...i got rejected when i applied for computer science and got accepted for something else but because i wanted CS,i went to upgrade my marks and got in. Now another problem is getting out because i am not too good in mathematics :
Which varsity are you studying your cs

I had goosebumps watching this video... really touching coz I can really relate... Congratulations once again...
Thank you 🙏🏽 whatever you’re going through just know they everything will be okay in the end ❤️
I’m finally a mechanical engineering graduate (Wits) after 2x academic exclusion.
Great video! I can relate, one thing about any obstacle you face in uni is that you must face it head on! You should call and ask why they rejected you, get feedaback. Opportunities are lost because we don't follow up. Uct has made me a fighter because of this and now I do not believe in a no. I fight.
Lols girl I feel you
1. I loved Wits and wanted to go there and nowhere but there. Grade 11 I got rejected. Grade 12 I passed very well and got accepted in 2017.
2. I didn't feel like I belonged. Had so many people who were so smart and I just felt like I didn't belong to be in such a place
3? I failed and got excluded, even though I passed some of the modules in 2019. And I can't go back to finish coz I didn't pay off the debt yet. I also didn't have bursaries coz of my poor academic record.
4. I went to UJ last year and I immediately had the same reaction. I didn't want to be at UJ so I really didn't feel the vibe. Now I'm about to drop it out becoz it's not what I want to do. It really saddens me that last year I didn't take a break. I didn't know I needed it.
5. I got excluded at Wits but got an option to change my course but I couldn't coz I didn't have money to pay the varsity back. I was excited to go back I got rejected to register coz of the debt
It's a journey. Imagine after 3 years, I still don't have that degree at Wits. Each day I cry coz I ruined my chances as well at UJ coz of the depression I went through with not processing the feelings and shame I went through....
But then I console myself on the thoughts that the course I was doing was toxic. It was not what I wanted and now I went to career counselling. I know what I want to do. I am also now processing the failures. I must say this is the most difficult thing I've ever had to experience thus far.
But this gives me motivation to go back and fulfil my life dream. I never thought someone went through what I went through. I feel so validated 😭😭😭😭💓💓💓💓
Please don’t ever ever give up on your dream 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
UJ is ranked 2nd in the country right after UCT
Thank you! This helped me to stay motivated in graduate school after I got a C in one of my course in my first semester of grad school! :D
I'm a first year student at Stellenbosch University and I'm going through a lot... I also feel like i don't belong in Stellenbosch.. I'm having the most difficult time. I failed most of my modules and I might get kicked out of res. I have roommate issues and I have absolutely no one to talk to. Your story gave me hope, I'm flying back to Stellenbosch next week Sunday and I'm planning on working very hard second semester. Thank you so much for sharing your story 😭😭❤
I am definitely not crying at all🥺🥺🥺
It was all such a pleasure and I would do it all over again❤
You’re the best! Thank you for everything ❤️
I have subscribed to your channel, this is motivating, i am a geology graduate who also worked hard for his final year results last year and i got 65% i got accepted to do honours this year, accepted to NRF funding that gave me R4K pm and this year i couldn't qualify to write one module so that meant an automatic fail, i applied at UJ but it is conditionally accepted. All my last year hard work burn into ashes!! And i am afraid to go there because it is one of the high standard universities in south africa and i was pursuing my honours at University of limpopo!!
Pursue your dreams no matter what ❤️❤️❤️
Wow Kutlwano what an inspiring story of triumph 👏🏾👏🏾definitely the motivation I needed for the day!
I’m so happy this video was helpful Thandile ❤️
mann this video resonated with me so much because I can relate so much...thank you for sharing, youtube is an amazing platform thanks to creators like this.
Girl you look stunning!! Great listening to your story :)
Thanks so much ❤️
my word Kay! I love this. I think I'll be coming to watch this video a lot . I relate to the failure, the shame and the disbelief of it all even though you saw it coming but you just hoped it won't because you've worked so hard. I love how you keep testifying that ''IT CAN HAPPEN'' with a change in response and attitude... Let's just say for university 2020 has been the best academic year yet (the years that follow will be better!). Thank You For Sharing Your Story, THANK YOU FOR INSPIRING ME.
Well done to you for killing it this year!!! That’s no small achievement. Onwards and upwards 💃🏽
I also can’t wait for my success story 🥺🕯
First year bsc just got my results,failed chemistry i feel defeated,i know its not the end but will keep on pushing 😢
Thank you so so much for this video, I actually am at that point of getting excluded and I need to write an appeal letter by Friday so this video really helped me know what to focus on so thank you very much 😭❤️I really hope it goes well🌸and congratulations on your success and not giving up🥺❤️

Thank you so much for this video! Last year was my first year and it was so tough. This message really spoke to me because I could relate with each and everything you spoke about in this video. I will keep pushing and work hard and put in the time. Thank you!
You came so far my sweetie from uj to uct... And also i admire you and you inspire me ❤️
Aww thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Wow beautiful video. I’m a Namibian and would like to study towards a bachelors degree in education at UCT. Very encouraging video
Hey Benny you’ll have to double check but as far as I can recall UCT only offers education at a postgraduate level. Just double check to make sure :)
Very touching , very original , very inspirational , very positive and very sincere talk . Thank you so much . Well done . Stay blessed . Your mother was right , she got a smart daughter to be proud of . Thank you for sharing this amazing video .
Thank you so much ❤️🙏🏽
Hii, i also dropped out because of failure at wits.... But now i went and fortified my mind and went through all the necessary things i want to go back i am so anxious idk if the University i am applying to won't dismiss me because of my past....i actually even applied to write nbt... But i am hella insecure that no university will want me because I've failed my first year twice... I actually did not write exams I was just too anxious and the other time covid did the most
Hope all is well❤
