Man bags degree in engineering
His father, who was seen in the TikTok video, explained that he is also a graduate and the first engineering graduate in the family.
As the father said this, his mother also spoke.
@gbeduski750, in the video he posted on his page, showed his mother explaining that several years ago, a doctor had told her that there was no baby in her womb despite being pregnant with him.
Unexpectedly, she delivered him several months later, and now he is grown and a graduate.
The mother said:
“My sweetest memory ever in life was the day I gave birth to him. The reason I call it my sweetest memory is because when I was pregnant, the doctor told me there was no pregnancy. But today, we are celebrating that he matured in the womb and I gave birth to him 27 years ago.”
