Caleb University graduate bags first class
She also mentioned in the post that there was a time her grade dropped to Second Class Upper, but eventually, she finished with a First Class degree in Computer Science despite failing the subject in secondary school.
Precious Akinnukawe posted on her LinkedIn page:
"I present to you… the latest graduate 🎓 I still can’t believe I’m writing this.
"I went from being the girl who failed Computer Studies in secondary school to graduating First Class in Computer Science. And nothing about this journey was easy, planned, or smooth."
She spoke about not actually wanting to study Computer Science at the university, but a different course. However, when she wasn’t given the course she desired, her heart was broken.
She continued:
"Computer Science was never my dream. I wanted Estate Management at UNILAG with everything in me. When my name didn’t come out, my heart broke. My dad, of blessed memory, just wanted me to gain admission that year, so he encouraged me to try a private university. I went for an interview at Caleb… and got admitted that same day. That was how this journey began."
After the experience, she explained that she was offered admission a week later.
"One week later, UNILAG offered me admission for the exact course I wanted. I remember crying so hard that night. I felt cheated by life. I didn’t understand Computer Science. I didn’t even know where to start. I felt lost, scared, and trapped in a future I never chose. Along the way, I stumbled. I fell from First Class to Second Class Upper."

Caleb University graduate shares personal struggle
"It hurt more than I can explain. I questioned myself. I wondered if I was forcing something that wasn’t meant for me. But deep down, I knew I couldn’t give up. So I tried again. I pushed harder. I believed again even when I was tired. Then the hardest part came. I lost my dad. My hero. My biggest supporter."
"That loss shattered me. There were days I didn’t think I would survive school without him. I felt empty. I felt weak. I wanted to quit so many times. But somehow… I stayed. With God’s grace."
"With the love of friends who carried me when I couldn’t carry myself. With the strength my dad had already planted inside me."
After a series of challenges due to the death of her father, she was able to finish well from the university and bag a First Class degree in the course she had actually never wanted.
She continued in her LinkedIn post:
"Today, I stand here a First Class graduate. Not because I was the smartest. But because I refused to give up even when life tried to break me."
"This is for you, Daddy 🤍 I hope I made you proud. And to anyone who feels lost, delayed, or broken-sometimes the journey that hurts the most ends up shaping you the most."
