"This was no doubt one of the toughest journeys of my life but it is certainly one that I will cherish forever. I am grateful for all the experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today, all the valuable lessons learned, all the highs and all the lows, all the late nights studying, all the laughing (and yes, sometimes the crying as well), and all the times I wanted to give up but kept fighting for my dream," Tanya captioned the post.
