University of Ibadan graduate's inspiring story
In another tweet on March 3, Ebunoluwa narrated how she went from a second-class lower grade to finishing with a first-class degree. She started university with a second-class lower and managed to move to a second-class upper in her second year, but the Covid-19 pandemic altered the course of her academics.
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, she said they began taking online classes, and her grades dropped sharply, causing her to almost give up on ever graduating with a distinction.
However, Ebunoluwa experienced an academic turnaround. She narrated:
"From a Second Class Lower to a First Class.
"I started uni with a 2.2 (Second Class Lower) and managed to move to a 2.1 in 200L.
"COVID happened and we had to take online classes and I had 50s again. I already concluded that maybe a first class wasn’t for me.
"From 300L, I served in my fellowship and till I finished, I served in some capacity or the other. I taught BBC in 300 and 400L, served as the Bible Study Secretary in NFCPS in 400 and 500L and served in the choice committee in 600L.
"A perfect 4.0 session and semester later, I’m graduating with 6 out of 7 distinctions and a first class. The God who restores time did it! Who would have thought?
"In summary, don’t give up. Keep pushing. God can be trusted."
