She explained that her early academic results left her feeling disappointed, prompting a period of self-reflection.
According to her, she chose not to disclose her initial performance to others and instead focused on improving her studies privately.
“I started university with a 3.3 CGPA. When I saw that result, I was confused and honestly, a bit ashamed. I couldn’t tell anyone. I kept it to myself for a long time,” she shared.
Determined to improve her grades, she committed herself to intensive study routines, including tutorials, late-night reading sessions and extended hours in the lecture theatre.
She described her study periods as demanding but formative, noting that she often spent long nights revising and preparing for examinations.
At some point, she said her dedication became so consistent that she became a familiar presence in the lecture halls during late hours.
Despite the challenges, she said her persistence eventually yielded results, as she steadily improved her academic standing throughout her programme.
Reflecting on her graduation, she expressed gratitude for the journey and the lessons learned along the way.
“But the work paid off. Fast forward to today… I graduated with a 4.30 CGPA,” she wrote.
She added that her achievement carried deep personal meaning, describing it as the result of “sweat, tears, doubts, fears, prayers and consistency.”
Her story has since resonated with many social media users, who have praised her discipline and transformation from a struggling student to a successful graduate.
