POV: You just got your degree

This is the kind of confidence you get with an education...

It feels like a distant memory when we were excited about receiving scholarly accolades. 

Not to reveal our ages or anything but it is safe to say that talking about our graduation days is as nostalgic as it gets. 

This coupled with the excitement surrounding the upcoming Matric results and graduates receiving their degrees, it is fair to say that we are feeling some kind of way for students. 

A video that has received over 1.5 million views shows a graduate from Stellenbosch University sharing her confidence at a local Checkers store. 

In the video, we see a cashier checking out some items for a customer, the cashier asks the customer if she would like a plastic bag and then the customer responds saying, "Sorry, no, I have a degree."

There's still some time for the matric results to be released but we wish all the matriculants all the best. 

Regardless of the outcome, remember to be there for your kids and reassure them that it is not the end of the world. There is always another path they can take.
