The history and international relations graduate said she kept retaking JAMB exams, because her parents motivated her.
In her words:
“First, it was my father who would stop at nothing to make sure I got into school. He didn’t have a university education, and he wanted to make sure his children did. “My mother too. For every year JAMB started sales, and I wanted to give up; she would assure me it’d work if I tried again.”
Along the line, her resolve to be relevant in society became her driving force.
“On my part, having lived on a school campus since my early teenage years, gaining university experience as well as a degree was what kept me going. I remember I was writing a story about the different kinds of friends I wanted to meet at the university. Although I never got to finish it, developing that story helped me a lot.
“Also, I knew I wanted to become a relevant person in the society, and my father always warned that I would never be without a degree.”
On how she feels about her academic feat, Amarachi said being a graduate has been one of her biggest dreams.
“I am yet to find the exact words to express how finally being a graduate feels – to me. “This has always been one of my biggest dreams! So, on the eve and morning of my graduation, I wasn’t sure how to feel. Even worse, I wasn’t sure how I would feel after writing my last exam. I was so excited I felt I was going to burst, and I cried my eyes out before heading out for the exam hall.
“2 hours later, I still felt the same way. Only that I couldn’t cry anymore. For me, being a graduate feels great. I mean, I have only been a graduate for less than 24 hours now, but I am still overjoyed.”
“I feel relieved, too – that I would never stress over exams and study at this level anymore. However, I feel a little scared – that life would be starting for real…”
Amarachi hopes to pursue her master’s programme abroad on scholarship and hopes to settle down with a lifetime partner.
