UI student misses out on first class

On her LinkedIn page, the lady shared how she had always dreamt of becoming a first-class graduate from the University of Ibadan.

Her LinkedIn post read:

"Nearly Didn’t Make It, But I Made It: 0.01 Away from First Class. The saying, “nearly never kills a bird,” has never been so real to me until the 16th of February, when I got to see my final year results /CGPA. Unfortunately for me, I was just 0.01 (3.49/4.00) points away from a first class.

"Truly, it took me a while to get over this, not because I considered it a failure, but because I saw it as a huge disappointment. A disappointment in the sense that I was unable to actualize my dream of becoming a first-class graduate from the University of Ibadan.
"I gave it my best. I put in the effort, and I did all I could. Yet, there I was, looking at my results and asking myself, “If only I had gotten an extra A…”
"I wouldn’t have been at this painful borderline. But in all things, I give thanks to God. I am grateful to have come this far, from a CGPA of 2.06 in 100 level to this final CGPA. This is truly a feat, not a regular one—and I am deeply grateful to God and to everyone who assisted and supported me along this journey.
"I am a proud graduate of the University of Ibadan: B.Agric (Animal Science), Second Class Upper (3.49/4.0). I am truly proud of this achievement."
