In his emotional post, he wrote: “From 9 carryovers… to a Degree. God, I could cry right now 🥹 They saw the GPA. They saw the list of Fs. They saw the odds and said I wouldn’t make it.”

But what they didn’t see was the grind. The retakes. The resits. The nights I didn’t sleep. The mental battles. The spiritual ones. The hunger to rewrite my story.”

“Today? I graduate with a Second Class Lower. No extra year. No carryovers left. Clean slate. Closed chapter.”
