Transcript

I passed last year, I'm only repeating because my parents want me to pass better. Hey guys, I had to make this video to clear something up. Yes, I am repeating a module from last year, but not because I failed it. My parents saw my academic record and they were like, that percentage, yes, it's a pass, but you gotta do it again. So you can pass better. That's why I'm doing this module again, guys. I did not fail it. I'm just doing it again because, um, I need to get a better mark than I did last year when I passed it. Yeah.
