UI nursing student wanted to study engineering
On her LinkedIn page, Rejoice Akinde said she wanted to study electrical engineering because she loved fixing things herself.
However, due to her struggles in maths and physics, she shifted her interest to nursing.
Her LinkedIn post read:
“Degree bagged officially. Reintroducing; 𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐄 𝐑.𝐈 {𝐑𝐍, 𝐑𝐌, 𝐂𝐅𝐏, 𝐁.𝐍.𝐒𝐜(𝐔𝐈)} First of all, I want to say God is goood! My life is a testament of His goodness.
"Initially, I wanted to study Electrical Engineering because I was always a ‘DIY’ and ‘fix-it’ girlie. However, My plans changed pivotally in SS3 to health and medical sciences because I got so frustrated with physics and further maths. From there came the realization that I could actually study Nursing at University level. I previously only knew of Nursing as a School of Nursing course. And just like that I said yes to Nursing and got admission with my first ever Jamb.
"The ride was definitely a rollercoaster. From being excited about getting admission to waiting for more than a year at home. First it was Covid, then it was Asuu strike, then it was my school trying to finish up the last session. Finally finished first year to enter into another 8 months Asuu strike
"At some point, we had to be praying seriously against another strike. But all things work together for good because it was during the 8 months strike that I ideated and commenced groundwork planning the launch of The Sanity Initiative.
"During the strike was when I had deeper thoughts and clarification on what I actually wanted from life. I wrote a lot, prayed a lot and discovered more about my life and future.The journey was filled with a lot of lessons but I am bold and proud to say, I passed through school and school passed through me."
She also went ahead to list her achievements at the University of Ibadan, including positions she held.
