Filomena Jacinta Ranuku is overjoyed as all her hard work has paid off after she graduated with a Bachelor of Law at the University of the South Pacific.

The former St John’s College student says she achieved this goal despite facing financial issues and being a single mother of two.

The 26-year-old says her two sons inspired her to keep pushing for excellence.

She also acknowledged the endless support of her parents, siblings and relatives in the last six years.

Her eldest son is 2 years old and her second son is 2 months old.

Ranuku is advising single mothers who may also be facing the same issues that she had gone through, not to doubt their capabilities, but to keep on striving for the best.
