A TikTok video featuring an aspiring barrister learning about passing her bar exams has gone massively viral, amassing nearly 9 million views in just four days.

Seren Lewis, based in Cardiff, documented the emotional moment when she and her grandparents opened her bar results, capturing the joyous reaction to the positive news.

Lewis pursued her LLB and masters in Manchester before completing the bar course with The University of Law.

In the caption, she expresses, “Passing the bar and qualifying as a barrister is my biggest accomplishment to date.” Lewis credits her grandparents for their pivotal role, stating, “However, it would have never happened without my grandparents, who I can only be forever grateful for. Taking me in at 2 years old and retiring early to care for a toddler was the most selfless act anyone could have done for me.”

She highlights the financial challenges of bar school, emphasizing its inaccessibility for many in the UK. Lewis reveals that her grandparents decided to remortgage their house, previously paid off for many years, to support her education. She acknowledges that without their sacrifice, she wouldn’t be where she is today.

The video has garnered almost 9 million views and over 15,000 comments, with viewers expressing emotional reactions and extending congratulations to Lewis for her remarkable achievement.
