“Life Didn’t End”: UNISA Rejects Woman Twice, Finds Success at MANCOSA

• A content creator on TikTok shared that she was rejected twice by an online public learning institution
• However, she did not give up, and her application to another online private tertiary institution was accepted
• Members of the online community took to the comment section to shower the woman with congratulatory messages

A woman picked herself up and dusted herself off after being rejected by a local university more than once, later getting accepted at another.

Sharing a snippet of her story on TikTok, a content creator named Trisha (who uses the handle @trishatumie on the app) stated that she furthered her studies by making it her mission to obtain a Bachelor of Education degree.

However, she was initially unsuccessful in her application, which she sent to the public e-learning institution UNISA, but that did not get her down.
