The lady failed matric in 2017 and nursed her broken heart by convincing herself to rewrite the following year. Unfortunately, she failed matric again in 2018. The light only came in 2019 when she finally did her victory dance after passing matric.

Jama captioned the sweet post:

"Failed matric (2017), went to re-write (2018) and failed again, went back to re-write for the second time (2019), and now I'll be attending my graduation ceremony....didn't even believe that I'd make it to second year, but God did. If anything? I needed to do this for myself more than anyone else.
"This is validation enough that I am capable of achieving anything and everything I want, for as long as I put my whole heart and mind into it.
"Every time I look myself in the mirror, my inner person keeps telling me, 'We did it bestie, we did it', yes we did. The other things I achieved were just a cherry on top. The whole cake is a degree. Listen, I'm grateful beyond words. I am super proud of myself. God's timing is the perfect timing. Yonk'into ine xesha layo."
