From businessman to UI engineering first-class graduate
Identified as @omiyinks on X, the graduate opened up about how he handled a lot of businesses as an undergraduate and how he still managed to bag a first class.
He revealed that he was the president of an association in school and also had a laundry business, inspiring others.
His X post read:
"First Class didn’t come easy for me. I did a lot of businesses in school.
"I started with a 3.86. I dropped to the 3.6 range in my 200L which really dampened my morale, but I managed to remain in that range until my penultimate year when I dropped again to exactly 3.52
"I was scared at this point & it almost seemed like I wouldn’t make it. What scared me the most was the fact that I’d just been elected president of my dept. & my tenure was to take place all through my final year.
This meant that I had to stay on point academically, run an entire association of 200+ students., tend to my laundry business, and still work on my final project.
"My academic comeback almost seemed impossible with this load. In the end, I had a 3.80/4 GPA in the final year, had an 81 in my project and led the association to my very best, & eventually had a push up in my CGPA from a 3.52 to a 3.58/4.00, which then placed me in the First-Class category — an almost impossible feat to achieve at one’s final level.
"I’m thankful to God for this. Looking forward to graduate studies opportunities."
