Legit.ng contacted the 19-year-old first-class graduate of Delta State University after she shared her academic achievement online to better understand how she was able to attain the feat and the challenges she faced along the way.
In a detailed response, Rose explained how she felt about being the first woman in her family to achieve such a milestone.
"To me, it signifies possibility. It made me understand that truly nothing is out of my reach. To my family, I think they feel a sense of pride knowing I accomplished something so amazing."
She also shared the study habits and strategies she adopted, which helped her graduate with an impressive CGPA.
Her explanation:
"Firstly, praying. I am always praying. Secondly, reading like my life depends on it. Attending classes and actually paying attention because there are certain things lecturers say in class that you won't find in textbooks or study materials. Studying past questions. Also, knowing when to rest and reset. Lastly, even on the days I didn't read at all or as much as I planned, I tried not to judge myself and instead gave myself grace."
When asked how she felt after discovering that she was among those who graduated with a first class, she shared this with Legit.ng:
"I was in disbelief. It felt so surreal considering I remembered looking up to other first-class graduates and dreaming about what it would be like to be one of them. To think that I actually became a first-class student myself, wow. It felt like the most perfect dream."
She also spoke about some of the challenges she faced during her time at the university.
"Some challenges I faced were imposter syndrome; for some reason, I felt like I didn't deserve it or wasn't worthy. Also, I struggled with insomnia in my final year. I even lost my academic spark, but through prayers and patience with myself, I overcame."
Reflecting on her remarkable journey, she offered advice to undergraduates and other students who hope to graduate at the top of their class.
She shared:
"I will tell them never to feel like it is impossible because it is not. Graduating with a first class is within their reach if they will only dream, pray and work for it."
