University of Ibadan medical student shares academic struggle
On her LinkedIn page, Deborah Animashaun shared that she knew her university admission would not be immediate, as she had graduated from her secondary school at the age of 14.
She said in her LinkedIn post:
"A 21-YEAR-OLD MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENTIST. At 14, I finished secondary school already knowing that I would proceed to Cambridge A Levels because I wasn’t expecting to gain admission into the university at such a young age.
"In 2020, I completed my Cambridge A Levels with AAA grades and gained admission into the University of Ibadan through Direct Entry to study Medical Laboratory Science.
"Now, at 21, I am graduating as a Medical Laboratory Scientist, and I can confidently say that the girl who resumed in 200 level is not the same girl leaving.
"Over the years, I have grown academically, professionally, and personally. I took on leadership positions I never imagined myself holding, and each experience shaped me into a stronger and more confident person.
"My final year project came with its own challenges. I worked on the "Prevalence of Alloimmunization Among Multiple Transfused Patients", and it was one of the most demanding periods of my academic journey. Due to an ongoing JOHESU strike, getting patients for the study became extremely difficult, and submission deadlines were approaching quickly.
"While many of my classmates had completed their projects, I was still struggling to recruit participants, with the few patients I was able to get refusing consent.
"It was mentally and emotionally exhausting, but I am deeply grateful to my supervisor for her support, patience, and encouragement throughout the process.
