Even when he realised he lacked the funds to pay his second-year tuition fees, Mutu wasn’t discouraged, and instead looked for odd jobs.
By working odd jobs at a car wash and later as a night-time security guard to fund his studies, Mutu has proven that resilience is the key to academic success.
“My parents were not educated. However, I was inspired by my niece who also has a PhD and whose husband is a medical doctor. “Everything was different, from cultural differences to the functioning of the library system© I had very little knowledge of how to use a computer,” he says. While working limited his study time and affected his first-year academic performance, Mutu still counted his blessings.
