The post reads:
"After matriculating I didn't know what I wanted to study and found myself doing something I didn't like for the sake of being a university student. Two years in, I had to decide if I was going to continue doing something I didn't have a passion for or forget about the years lost and go after my dream.
“I chose my dream. I had to look at my peers graduate in record time thinking I'll never get there but God kept me through the sleepless nights and what seemed to be a never ending road. Countless disappointments and bitter moments but all was worth it because I'm doing the one thing I've always wanted to do. My message to everyone is, don't neglect your dreams.”
