“My Teacher Said I Wasn’t Good Enough,” – Says Lady Who Bagged 2 Degrees from Harvard and Oxford Varsities
A young lady identified as Vee K has narrated the story of how she was able to obtain a degree from Oxford and Harvard Universities despite initial negative advice from her school teacher.
The brilliant lady reveals that her teacher who she did not name told her that she was not good enough for Oxford University.
However, she rejected the negative advice and has now gone on to bag two degrees, not only from Oxford but also from Harvard University.

Sharing her story on LinkedIn, Vee said: I have 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 my undergraduate degree from Oxford University, and as of 4 days ago I’ve graduated 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.
“Let’s stop putting our students in boxes and marking what they can do based on our own fears or the unknown.
“I’m so grateful I believed in myself because I’m seeing my wildest dreams coming true right before my eyes, and I always wonder, what would have happened if I had listen and let the fear win“
“When I was in High School, I was a good student and Professors were very good with me. But they said so many bad things to my mates who did not study enough. They said they would have no future and they offended them periodically. I remember arguing with the Teachers to defend my mates. I was convinced, and rightly so, that they were very smart, just not willing to spend all their afternoons studying.
“I was penalized in my final score for being too vocal about this. But then, those mates who did not score well in school, they nearly all attended the best colleges and graduated with honors and they are now in great professional roles. I was right. I also graduated with Honors and realized my dreams.
“But I stand by the fact that none should ever be offended or humiliated only because they have other priorities in life. Well done Vee K., you are for sure a living proof that impossible is nothing.
“I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. We say in Italy, what does not chock you, will let you grow. Well, time to rock and roll my dear. You deserve only praise for your motivation and realization!

“I had a 86 overall grade average in high school. Not only did I graduate from the University of Southern California but I received my Master Degree from Iona College, by the tender age of 25. So when they point us in a lower direction, we should continue to reach for the stars.“
Diane W wrote: “Great job staying true to your dreams and what you want for yourself. They are doing the same thing to my daughter who wants to go into Aerospace Engineering.
“They keep trying to steer her major in another direction. Truth is they don’t know my daughter. My daughter’s never failed at anything she’s wanted to do. So as you, I expected I’ll be liking her post, when she posts that she held fast like you did. Congratulations and best wishes on your next chapter!
Robert McInerney said: “I was told by a former boss that I was too old and should not bother finishing my degree. That I was wasting my time. I went home crushed! After thinking about it for about 2 days and processing that statement I went right back to studying my books. I am one class (capstone) away from graduating. I am also (something I never considered possible) thinking of enrolling in a master’s program. Who knew???!!!”
