"A STORY WORTH TELLING In 2019, I finished Secondary School at OBMS (Oritamefa Baptist Model School) with 9A1's in WAEC (One of the happiest moments of my life was the night I checked my result) and this was later rewarded as the best WAEC result in Oyo State in 2019 by the Oyo State Government.
"What follows usually is direction of the course to apply to. Naturally, most people had expected MBBS or Electrical Engineering. So everyone, including my teachers were surprised when I chose Physiotherapy (I did my research across many courses and came across a very beautiful course). Tbh, I didn't even know how extremely beautiful the course was then.
"OBMS at the time in 2019, due to my WAEC result gave me a scholarship to attend their A'levels Programme for Free. Due to the Strike and Covid-19 Pandemic, We could not resume yet and I was able to attend it. I started at A'levels February 2020 and applied for the May/June Examinations (very rare, this happens).
"I had 3A's in the process (however, I didn't use the A'levels result to process any admission as I already got UTME admission in 2019 and was just waiting to resume) I am always glad I was able to attend it though. I met some really amazing friends.
"Interestingly, I didn't know how it would be to transition from doing well in Secondary School to doing well in University. I just really maintained composure So looking down the line, 16+ leadership positions later (including President of the Association of Physiotherapy Students and President of Exercise is Medicine On-campus University of Ibadan Chapter)."
In a chat with Legit.ng, the young man shared his admission journey.
His words:
"I scored 312 in JAMB and went on to pass my POSTUTME well beyond the UI cutoff.
"I attended just one JAMB lesson for a month or two. It was APEX Tutorials then, just opposite UI. I met a lot of amazing people and amazing teachers that opened my mind to new knowledge. They made me also interested in intellectual freedom.
"After gaining admission, we didn't resume immediately. So I decided to use my time well. I enrolled to learn French at Alliance Français at Iyaganku, Ibadan. I finished A1 classes (I didn't do the A2 classes) and wrote the DELF A2 examinations which I passed really well."
