He has another degree in politics from a canadian uni. However, five years back his younger brother died in a tragic motorbike accident so he wasnt able to get on track with education/career.
So you can imagine how doubly upset he was at seeing that he failed, aur woh bhi 2 marks saye!
could he not have sat a supp. exam or something? if he had spoken to his coordinator or someone there, im sure they could have worked something out... or maybe he could have done an extra subject?
