"I resumed at Babcock University on October 29th, 2025, thinking I was just there for a degree. 🎓 But a few months in, I’ve realized that the most important lessons aren't happening inside the lecture rooms.
"They are happening in the hostels, and the daily interactions with people I’ve never met before. School is teaching me how to build a character, not just a career.
"I’m learning things that no textbook could ever explain, like how to lead with service and how to show up with true intentionality..."
