Failing the O-Levels twice became the start of an “academic comeback” for a TikToker who ultimately graduated from university with first class honours and landed a job.
In a Christmas Day TikTok post which garnered over 55,900 views, user @mentaikofries recounted his academic journey, showing screenshots of his GCE O-Level certificates.
“Thought I could get away not studying for O-Levels. Failed not once, but twice…” he wrote in the on-screen caption.
The next photo was a screenshot of his ITE results which showed that he graduated with a 3.0 grade-point average (GPA), securing him a place in Temasek Polytechnic’s business information technology diploma course.
“Learnt my lesson, hustled and graduated with a 3.89/4 GPA and a diploma with merit!” he said.
