Instead of quitting, Oluwaponmile chose an alternative route by enrolling at The Polytechnic, Ibadan, where she successfully earned her Ordinary National Diploma (OND). Rather than continuing with a Higher National Diploma (HND), she decided to start afresh from the 100 level at Ekiti State University (EKSU).

Lady achieves 4 major goals

While some people questioned her decision to start over, the final-year student used the time to build herself. Below are the four achievements she had after being denied admission:

  1. She became a Chartered Accountant
  2. She is building FashionXpert from scratch
  3. She started learning Data Analysis
  4. She kept becoming a better version of herself

In her LinkedIn post, Oluwaponmile stated:

"She had one dream — to become all she desired and never settle for less. After her second JAMB, University admission still didn’t come. It hurt. The journey felt delayed, and many doubted her path. But she didn’t quit.
