## Resource

Nthabiseng Pesa, a 26-year-old powerhouse, just graduated with two diplomas in one month — IT from CUT and Marketing from Motheo TVET — after years of juggling night shifts, full-time study, and family responsibilities. Starting as a petrol attendant while studying part-time, she faced setbacks, lost jobs, and failed modules — yet never gave up. Working as a cashier during the day and studying at night, she even helped pay for her brother’s school. Her story proves that grit, not privilege, builds success — and your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
