A proud woman, Dr Reneé Minnaar, recently headed to Facebook to share with Varsity World an inspiring post about how despite it taking her 15 years to achieve, she finally got a PhD three years ago.
"Would you work 15 years - that's 5 475 days - to achieve your dream? I still get chills thinking about my PhD graduation day in 2017 - celebrating my 15 years of hard work. It's a feeling of accomplishment that is hard to put into words.
"YOUR dream may be non-academic, but my question is, what would YOU do to achieve your dream?
"On your way to your dream - take an unpaid internship, volunteer at a non-profit, start a small business, offer your help, find a mentor, gain work and life experience while you are job hunting... Use the skills, knowledge and resources that you have."
She then inspires people to continue to push for their dreams to come through even if it takes them longer than they expected. Locals loved it. Read a few of their comments below:
