US diplomat, Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” Recently, a TikTok user personified and brought this quote to life when he shared a heart warming video of his success.
Sometimes we don’t always find ourselves on top, without climbing the ladder of success and passing all the tough stages of life. A TikTok user by the name of Siya Ngangelizwe recently inspired many with his heart warming success story. Siya told his story with a heart capturing clip, where he walked in at McDonald’s in his full graduation regalia.
He revealed later that, the McDonald’s he visited was where he worked for the duration of his Diploma, while he was studying at Nelson Mandela University (NMU). Taking to his TikTok page, Siya shared a clip where he walked into the store to greet his former colleagues who were so proud and happy to see him. They later burst into a song, in which they praised him for his perseverance and success.
Most would know that take out restaurants have long hours, and sometimes the workers take night shifts. However, that did not stop Siya from reaching his dreams.
