Usually, it is Nigerian graduates who finish with a first-class or second-class upper that show off their academic success on social media, but a Nigerian lady despite finishing with something lower has celebrated her feat.
Chidiebere Offor recently took to social media to celebrate graduating from Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ikwo with a second class lower degree (CGPA of 3.49) in criminology and security studies.
The excited lady while sharing a photo she took at her convocation ceremony appreciated God for seeing her through school.
In her LinkedIn celebratory post on Wednesday, December 15, the lady who reminisced on her undergraduate journey said she has chosen to focus on what is and not what should have been.
She wrote:
“Today (Wednesday) was my convocation. I was awarded a second class lower division honours degree in criminology and security studies with a cgpa of 3.49.
“Often, it’s usually those with first class or second class upper division that celebrate. I have thought long and hard about my undergraduate journey and my resolution is to focus on what is and not what should have been.
“I would be forever indebted to God for his abundant blessings, favour and mercies.”
