Multiple failures lead to depression
The young lady explained that her journey began in 2020 when she wrote JAMB and secured a course at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) that she did not like.
She subsequently enrolled in nursing school in 2021 but faced a major setback during the Preliminary Training School (PTS) examinations.
According to her post, she failed one course out of 13 and was unable to proceed because her class was highly competitive and the school had already met its quota. She repeated the class, but despite intensive study, she recorded three "F" grades in her results.
Finding Radiography after JUPEB struggles
Still determined to enter the medical field, she purchased a JUPEB form to study Pharmacy or Nursing, but she encountered yet another academic hurdle.
In her words:
"Exams came, I wrote and results came out then I saw another bunch of F looking at me. At this point I lost hope in Education, some how I also took jamb just Incase Jupeb doesn’t work out."
It was during her time in the JUPEB program that a friend's interest in Radiography prompted her to research the field. She found the profession interesting and chose it as her first choice during her JAMB registration.\
Reflecting on God's plan
After years of waiting and multiple attempts at different entrance examinations, she finally secured admission to study Radiography. She noted that she now loves the course and believes her past failures were a way of redirecting her steps.
@ms_amaraa said:
"It was then I realized God was only trying to correct my steps, not because nursing wasn’t Good but because it wasn’t aligning with his purpose for me. To cut the story short, most times we have our plans but God the master planner has better plans for us."
