Moyinoluwa revealed that she is going for computer engineering/computer science at the university level because computer-related things have always fascinated her.
I'm sad about ASUU strike
The teenager added that she is sad about the ongoing Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike as many of her seniors are stuck because of the situation. She implored parents to encourage their kids in other crafts apart from academics to give them an edge.
Speaking about mathematics, she said she loves the subject because once a person familiarises themselves with the concepts, they could always apply them to solve any question.
We had a WhatsApp group
The smart kid stated that aside from the teachings she got in school, she used online resources and always read at night to help herself prepare for the examination. Moyinoluwa said she and her friends created a WhatsApp group where they share resources.
Not wanting to put her eggs in just one basket, she said that she is looking at opportunities both at home and abroad. She is considering UNILAG and Covenant University for her higher education in the country.
