“I’m happy that I’m here today, after a long time I tried to finish my studies. It wasn’t easy but today someone succeeded. I had to ignore everything that happened around me to face my studies. I had to set aside time and remind myself why I started studying in the first place, I did this on very difficult days,” said Tee.
He said he is very grateful to his mother, Bonisiwe Khanyile, who always encouraged him to finish his studies.
“Also, my whole family supported me as I always told them about the difficulties of studying that I am facing. I knew that I had to finally get my degree because I would have felt guilty for a long time that I had chosen not to get this degree. My faith helped me to be where I am today,” she said.
Amina revealed that she was the first in their family to graduate.
He also revealed that it was not an easy journey as he kept giving up, which is something he can’t believe he finally finished and got his degree.
