While speaking to Briefly News, @andelwa.ngubane shared how she was able to achieve such incredible results.

"I began to hang out with learners who were smart especially those who were smarter than me because in that way it was easier to get clarity on questions that were confusing me. I grew to love my academic life as there was no subject that I was least interested in. I started doing all my subjects thoroughly and also did a lot of past question papers. And also shared a lot of information that I had so that I could memorise it."

The young lady shared with the publication how she aspires to become an independent woman, recognising the importance of self-validation and determination.

@andelwa.ngubane faced challenges in catching up with new subjects, becoming emotional when results were average, and maintaining a positive image.

She had to overcome emotional attachments and the pressure to excel academically, as they had a significant impact on others and had to display a good image even on the hardest exams.

"Changing my subjects made my academic journey a lot more easier because I went hard and I didn't take them lightly just because they were known to be easy, and that's why I became an award-winning learner from the start. Instead of physical sciences, I chose history and instead of pure mathematics, I chose mathematical literacy. Mind you those are the two subjects that led to my failure," she added.

During her challenging time, she had a strong support system from friends, family, classmates, teachers, and neighbours. @andelwa.ngubane encourages others to not give up and to strive for excellence.

Her determination and hard work paid off in the end. The young pupil has achieved impressive results, proving that perseverance, consistency, and dedication can lead to success.
