However, that is not the case for many specifically a woman who has taken to social media to flaunt her current occupation.

Can 392 marks take you to high school?

TikTok user Linda Wanjira has proudly shown off her adorable job in an inspirational video.

In the trending video, she highlighted her dedication journey, noting she unfortunately did not go far in her studies.

Wanjira disclosed that she was lucky to finish her primary education, as she sat for her Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exam.

She scored 392 marks on the national examination, which is reasonable for joining a high school.

Does Wanjira have kids?

However, she disclosed she did not sit for her Kenyan Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam.

That did not deter her from being more hardworking and searching for employment opportunities.

The beautiful mother of three noted in the video that she worked in the Gulf as a househelp.

She showed off her employer's house, which looked stunning with high-end furniture and lovely decor.

How was Wanjira's employer's house looking?

The room's theme was white, and a lamp illuminated one corner.

There were also comfortable brown sofas that blended with the room's theme colour.

Wanjira stood on a fluffy carpet that was not big enough to cover the room's floor, which had white tiles.

She seemed ready to do some cleaning as she had a nice-looking vacuum cleaner before her.
