Solo Grad's Viral Video Sparks Debate on Gender and Academic Paths

A Brazilian university student, Isa Rezende, recently gave an interview to the major news outlet G1 about her graduation. Her story is unique because she completed her degree independently, without the usual collaborative projects. In a subsequent video reacting to the interview, Rezende addresses comments highlighting this unusual path. One commenter, renatalervantesi, noted, "I didn't find it funny at all, who knows if helping other colleagues would have been more people." Rezende responds to concerns about the lack of collaboration, emphasizing the individual nature of her diploma and her personal study habits. The video also sparked a discussion on gender inequality, with a commenter, a.alves, suggesting the story's lack of widespread attention is due to her being a woman. Rezende's story is a testament to perseverance and highlights the diverse paths to academic success.
