A single video is capturing hearts across the internet. It’s the emotional moment when 22-year-old Seren Lewis finds out she’s passed the Bar exam—a dream made possible by her grandparents’ extraordinary sacrifice.
Seren, who has been sharing her law school journey on TikTok as @SerenLewis1, has gone through months of relentless studying and nail-biting exams. But when the moment of truth arrived, she wasn’t alone.
In the now-viral clip, Seren sits with her grandparents by her side, staring anxiously at her computer screen. Her grandmother navigates the technical side of things while her grandfather wraps a comforting arm around her. The tension is palpable.
@serenlewis1 Passing the Bar and qualifying as a Barrister is my biggest accomplishment to date. 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. Bar school is extremely expensive and is still so inaccessible to the majority of people living in the UK. To be able to attend, they decided to remortgage their house that they had paid off so many years ago and without that, I would not be where I am today. So, as much as this acheivement is down to my hard work and MANY late nights, I share this acheivement with them.

Seren revealed the extent of their sacrifice: “Bar school is so expensive and inaccessible for most in the UK. To make it happen, they remortgaged the home they had paid off years ago. Without that, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Seren’s story is a reminder of the power of love and sacrifice. It’s hard not to cheer for her as she embarks on her career as an attorney, knowing the incredible support behind her success.
