Lameec Crawford, the first in her family to graduate with a degree and with distinction.
When Lameec Crawford crossed the graduation stage to receive her degree with distinction, it was more than just an academic achievement — it was the fulfilment of a dream years in the making.
“This was a huge milestone for me, which I will never forget,” said Crawford. “I just heard my 13-year-old self saying to me, ‘We made it.’”
The Newlands East resident recently graduated with her IIE Bachelor of Arts degree with distinction at Emeris Durban North’s graduation ceremony, becoming the first person in her family to earn a university qualification.
Her journey to graduation was far from easy. During her first year of studies, Crawford unexpectedly lost her mother, a heartbreaking moment that nearly derailed her dreams.
