Student cuts hair over UTME result
A video shared on TikTok by @ellacherish45, the student’s sister, captured the emotional moment when the teenager broke down in tears of joy upon learning that she would be given a second chance to sit for the examination.
According to the video, the student’s registration number was among those selected for re-examination by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Prior to the day her exam was rescheduled, she had been overcome with grief, even going so far as to cut her hair and spend sleepless nights in tears over her low score.
Her emotional state was a clear indication of how much this opportunity meant to her and how she had planned to utilise it.
The news of the re-examination brought a great sense of relief and happiness to the student.
It was like a heavy weight had been lifted off her shoulders, and she had a renewed hope that left her feeling relieved.
