”After the first semester exams, I had a GPA of 1.75; THAT’s A THIRD CLASS!!!. I told myself this wasn’t my result (lol). I am not this bad. I was one of the five leading in my secondary school.”

She also mentioned that due to some people she met in school, her grades started to turn around in her second semester.

She talked about people like Babatunde olowu, who taught her physics and also Sunday Eludodun, her fellowship president.

According to her, her final year was the best year she had at the University of Ibadan, haven had a CGPA of 3.32. She also said that she was happy with her achievements as she had a distinction in her final year project.

Furthermore, she added that even though her project was tiring and challenging, her supervisor prepared her mentally, and she ended up scoring 74 in her six (6) unit project which was a distinction. According to her, her supervisor is the best.

She shared her story, hoping to inspire students who hope to achieve changes in their CGPA.
