According to her, her family went through a tough period after her father lost his job, forcing them to adjust their lifestyle and transfer to a public secondary school.
She noted that her mother became the primary breadwinner during that period.
Adegoke recalled a conversation with a neighbour during her secondary school days who suggested that her family might not be able to afford university education for her.
Looking back, she said the comment reflected the financial reality of her family at the time rather than malice. However, she added that it became part of her motivation to push through the challenges.

She emphasised that her background should not define her future, adding that determination, consistency, and hard work played a key role in her academic success.
