After failing the university entrance exam once, Pontsho Dolce Dolo, a young African woman, has finally been accepted to study her desired course.
A woman from South Africa named Pontsho Dolo is presently enrolled in the University of Pretoria to study medicine and surgery. As a child, Pontsho stated that she wanted to become a doctor and that her dream was to study medicine and surgery.
Pontsho took the Matriculation exam (a university entrance exam) after graduating high school, but he failed. She claimed that although failing the test depressed her, she was still committed to realizing her dream.
She made the decision to participate in the Extended Degree Program, a rigorous course intended for high school students who wish to apply to postsecondary institutions in South Africa but do not meet the prerequisites for admission.

Pontsho made the decision to enroll in the Extended program and ensured that she did exceptionally well in it. Her efforts eventually paid off, and she was allowed to study medicine at the University of Pretoria (Tuks) a year later.
“I am constantly eager to learn new things, no matter how challenging they may be, and my passion for medicine keeps me going. My passion for medicine is so strong that no circumstance or person could ever make me quit,” she said.
Pontsho mentioned that her family was one of the main motivations for fulfilling her dreams. She expressed her gratitude to them, promising not to disappoint them.
“I have a very supportive family that keeps me going constantly. They always remind me why I want medicine when facing a difficult situation,” Pontsho said.
”I’m not from a very advantaged family, but the support I get from my family is excellent, and I don’t want to disappoint them because they try by all means to provide everything I need,” she added.
Pontsho urged all students who are having difficulty getting in to overcome their concerns rather than quit up and feel guilty. It’s okay to improve your grades the next year. It is far superior to accepting any degree. Walk upright and raise your head. “You’re capable,” she said.
