Listen "17: From Tent Floors to Toolboxes: Bonus Episode of "How I Struggled with Studies""
Episode Synopsis
In this heartfelt bonus episode, host Bulelani Marwanqana shares a powerful personal story — a journey of academic struggle, sacrifice, and purpose. From studying Maths and Physics while sleeping in a church tent to tutoring struggling students from under-resourced communities, Bulelani opens up about what it means to pursue education in the face of adversity.
You’ll hear how service, resilience, and vision turned pain into purpose — and how those experiences now shape his mission as an educational mentor, podcast host, and auto-electrical engineering apprentice.
This episode is a raw, reflective, and deeply human reminder that the classroom isn’t always a physical space — sometimes, it’s the streets, the shadows, and the silence before the sunrise.
