A young woman shared an inspiring story of how she failed matric but never gave up.
In the video she shared on TikTok, @nikilitha_za said she failed Grade 12 in 2020, a sad feeling in her life. But she never gave up and applied for a rewrite in June.
She waited for six months for the result. In the waiting, something good happened, she bagged a job as a music sync agent, a person who puts music into movies and advertisements, and closed her first big deal on Netflix's Blood and Water.
This was the beginning of great things for her. She passed matric and went to University. Nikilitha also started her agency, Kopton Music, and recently closed her first big deal as a CEO with Shaka Ilembe.

Learners should not be embarrassed to re-write
One could say that her failing matric was not so bad after all. But the young woman says her failure was something that could have been prevented. During her matric year, she focused on her music career and entered a competition that shifted her focus even further. Nikilitha encouraged learners not to throw in the towel in similar situations.
"I know you may be feeling hopeless right now, but it really isn’t the end. I know my story seems unique but if it can happen to me, it can happen to you. So many other people have gone on to do amazing things after their biggest failures, so don’t be embarrassed to re-write!❤️"
