"First, my O’level results were a bunch of C’s, which haunted me into believing that I probably wasn’t as smart in high school as I once believed."
"God made a way, and somehow, I started another trial through JUPEB (another way to get into school via direct entry)."
Despite the average results and lack of faith in herself, she made another move, which she explained:
"Guess who still got average results again!? THIS GIRL 😩"
"I didn’t get my desired course and got transferred to a 'lower' or not-so-popularly-desired major. I thanked God at least I was in school 😅"
"On entry, something in me cried out to God that I never wanted to see a C-grade in my results in this new department, only A or B grades."
