A brilliant and popular African-American Lady known as Vee Kativhu has graduated from the prestigious Oxford and Harvard universities in the United States despite her teacher telling her she is not good enough.

She expressed her happiness after she graduated with two degrees, one from Oxford and the other from Harvard.

She said she wanted to school to Oxford University for her bachelor’s degree but she was told by her teacher that she was not good enough.

According to Vee, her teacher advised her not to bother applying since she was not good enough.

Sharing her story on LinkedIn, Vee said:

I graduated from Harvard. Five years ago my teacher told me I shouldn’t even bother applying to Oxford for my undergrad because I wasn’t ‘good enough.

“And fast forward ….. Last year I graduated with my undergraduate degree from Oxford University, and 4 days ago I graduated with my postgraduate degree in International Education Policy (officially) from Harvard University.

“This is just a little friendly reminder to teachers, guardians and people in general who play a role in 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren’s lives, just because it hasn’t been done, doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Let’s make sure our students know that.”
