Cursory: Mary, one of the best graduating students of Benson Idahosa University receives an honorary celebration in her community as being the first graduate.
It is good to make a difference in an environment when an abnormality is regarded as the norm. It might not make sense initially, but when it speaks, it will be celebrated.
Mary made up her mind to be the first graduate in her family which will in return serve as an encouragement to other girls in her community because they were not encouraged to go to school but to get married.
For six years she kept her dreams alive and worked as a classroom teacher.
Five years later, she became the first graduate in her family by the privilege of Slum2School Africa which aims to Provide Education to Vulnerable.
Mary didn’t just achieve her greatest desire by being the first graduate in her family, she also, added a great feat by being one of the best graduating students at Benson Idahosa University.
Reports also have it that she is the first graduate in her community, a feat that propelled her community members to celebrate her uniquely.
According to a video shared on Facebook by Vera Obinwa Amarachi, Mary was moved with tears by such an honorarium from the community.
