That was a phone conversation with my Dad in 2018 when I lost yet another admission to study at the University of Ibadan. This was my third attempt, and I was at my wit's end. Throughout all of this, I had parents who never stopped believing in me. With renewed courage, I began another admission process that eventually earned me an admission to study.
