The graduate thanked her principal, Adele Richardson from SAAAC, for keeping her motivated during the times she was tested with difficult situations hindering her goal of completing her studies. In an inspirational post, she wrote:

"I came across a lot of challenges with the pandemic and also coming from a village with very little resources. But, because I knew what I wanted, quitting was not an option."

Nicola shared the few ways that she has also been giving back to her community and mentioned that she has touched a few lives with donations that she previously managed to raise in her spare time.

"I have been asking for donations from friends, relatives, and community members and managed to bless a few students with school uniforms. I was also fortunate to get a job as an educator assistant and have been buying sanitary towels for the kids at the school where I work."
