Graduate says dad abandoned family
The graduate, identified on TikTok as @stemme_0, shared a video donning her graduation gown.
Her post revealed the backstory of her academic pursuit, which was once deemed a “waste of money” by her father.
Despite his disapproval, her mother persevered, encouraging her daughter’s educational aspirations.
The young lady’s father had walked out on the family, citing his disagreement over the financial investment in her education.
However, with her mother’s unwavering support, she pressed on, driven to prove her father wrong.
Years later, the outcome was a resounding triumph. Not only did she earn a prestigious degree in Biomedicine, but she also received the coveted Golden Heart Award of the Year.
This recognition confirmed her exceptional academic prowess and personal growth.
In her words:
“POV: Dad left because he thought mum was wasting money paying my fees. He left thinking I was too young and taking me to school was a waste of money but yes I still did it for my mum.
“Now graduating with a degree in biomedicine at 20 years. Won an award Golden Heart Award of the Year.”
