The problem is that her dad is no longer alive, so she was forced to visit his grave while fully dressed in the graduation gown.
"Your princess did it"
Towela Towie Ngwira shared photos of herself in the cemetery, standing beside her father's resting place with her graduation cap on top of the tombstone.
In one of the photos, she is pictured kneeling humbly in honour of the man who did not live long enough to see her achieve the commendable milestone.
From the emotional post, it was evident that Towela would have given everything to have her father alive to watch her graduate, but fate had different ideas.
"Hey, papa. Your princess did it. I hope I made you proud. I love and miss you so much," she captioned the photos.
The post left most of her followers feeling emotional even as they congratulated her for her academic achievement.
