UNIZIK student shares academic struggle
Identified as @heyveenah on TikTok, the lady shared why she wrote the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) three times.
Her TikTok post read:
"Eight years ago, I graduated as the best student in secondary school with so many dreams in my heart. I thought life would go exactly as planned, but it didn’t.
"I wrote JAMB three times. I was denied admission once. The second time, I got Biochemistry instead of my dream course yet I never gave up, I sat for JAMB the third time.
"At some point, I was tired. I felt embarrassed, frustrated, and left behind. Watching people move forward while I kept starting over broke me in ways I can’t even explain. There were moments I genuinely wanted to give up on everything.
"But my dad never let me. When I was losing hope in myself, he kept encouraging me. He kept reminding me that my journey was different, not impossible. Even when I cried, doubted myself, and felt like a failure, my family stood beside me and carried me through those difficult years.
"Today, after all the delays, disappointments, tears, and silent battles… I am finally a RADIOGRAPHER. This is for everyone who feels like life is taking too long for them. Please don’t give up. Sometimes the journey is painful, but your story is still being written. Delay is truly not denial."
