Babcock University graduate shows off awards
On his LinkedIn page, Samuel Akinola shared that he made a decision to become more involved in activities outsides academics.
His LinkedIn post read:
“PATH/PHARM – A Path to “Pharm” Certificates. Last year, after I had just concluded my First MB examination, I made a decision to become more involved in activities outside academics.
“Although I knew I was entering the Path/Pharm phase of medical school—a phase often regarded as one of the most challenging, with an overwhelming amount of material to read and master—I still wanted to contribute in other meaningful ways.
“By God’s grace, I became more active. I volunteered to serve on various committees and sought opportunities to contribute to both my department and my chapel.
“To be honest, I still do not know how I ended up receiving nine certificates, a plaque, and a medal within a single tenure. All I can say is that it is a testimony to God’s grace and mercy. You may see my name written on the certificates and plaque, but I see God’s grace written all over them.
“I am truly grateful to God for this achievement, and I also sincerely appreciate the Babcock University Association of Medical Students (BUAMS) for giving me the opportunity to serve in my little capacity.
“At the end of it all, it seems that this Path/Pharm phase became a path to “pharming” certificates. To God be all the glory.”
In a chat with Legit.ng, Samuel shared what he did to bag such awards.
His words:
"I achieved all this through the grace of God. It was all God’s grace. I planned out my time properly, I knew when it was time to read and do other things. I do other things as a way to kind of distract myself a bit from the somehow boring nature of medicine. I basically knew what worked for me and somehow balanced it with school work.
"I never allowed extra-curriculars affect my performance in school. I hold a post as the financial secretary of media department in my chapel here in Babcock. I received those certificates by being an active member in my department who who served in various departmental committees, volunteering in an event, and winning an intra-departmental debate."
