UI first-class pharmacy graduate shares experience
Identified on TikTok as @stitches_by_sumta, the lady shared how she bagged a first class despite struggling after starting her business in 200 level.
She said:
"Graduating as the most outstanding student. The one where SumSum officially becomes a Pharm.Dr. Sit back, let me tell you a quick story. Assumpta entered the University of Ibadan super pumped and determined to graduate with a First Class.
"After being one of the top students in secondary school, it felt achievable. But freedom struck, my reading pattern slipped, and I finished 100level with a close to borderline First Class. That shook me. I was determined to push beyond the borderline.
"Then COVID happened… and entrepreneurship found me. I tried to quit business ,after COVID, to focus solely on my books, but I couldn’t. So the gamble began. In 200 level, I unofficially started StitchesBySumta — sewing outfits during exam periods, taking insane risks.
"My grades dropped to a Second Class. I didn’t even check my 200 level result until final year so I didn’t know about this drop back then, but deep down, I knew it shook me. That was when the search for balance truly began. I wanted to prove to my mum — and to myself — that I could be both: an entrepreneur and a First Class student.
"It wasn’t easy. I got my first resit and cried. Then another. But I refused to quit. I grew my fashion brand while rebuilding my academics. And in the end?
"Three-time Best Student in Entrepreneurship. Most Versatile Student throughout Pharmacy School. Executive of the Year during my tenure as PRO. And yesterday, I added more feathers.
"Distinction in my favourite course-Pharmacognosy and Herbal Medicine. NAPA Award for Most Outstanding Student. And got inducted as a First Class graduate. My three brands are top-notch. I am a top-notch graduate. God is in this story. The tears and sweat were worth it. Reintroducing Dr. Nwakile Assumpta Oluomachukwu (PharmD., MPSN)
