Babcock University bags first-class degree
On her LinkedIn page, Ataro shared how her parents and many people feared that she would be unable to cope as a teenager at the university.
Her LinkedIn post read:
“I got into the university at age 15. My Parents and many people feared that I wouldn't be able to cope. I not only survived the campus dilemma but graduated with a first class.
“Three things that helped me:
“1. Building an intentional circle: The truth is, the people around you can either fuel your growth or drain your fire. When your friends share your ambition and values, everything changes. You push each other higher. You hold each other accountable. You celebrate wins without envy. You find support when the journey feels tough.
"2. Holding God close: In this journey, there will be many highs and lows, many days you struggle to read a course. I know how many times I cried while studying a bulky course. It is important that your source is God. He is your added advantage.
"3. Asking questions: One thing I was certain about was that - I didn't know everything so I always sought advice from students who were ahead of me. And asking questions saved me time and helped me to turn other people’s experience into my shortcut for growth.
“Happy new week ✨. Age is not a limiting factor, it is the mindset that counts.”
In a chat with Legit.ng, the lady shared how she was able to balance her academics and extra-curricular activities.
She said:
"One major challenge was balancing my academic work with extra curricular activities. In my 300-level, I became more active. I joined a theatre group on campus, which was demanding; sometimes rehearsals lasted four to eight hours. As part of the executive team, I had even more responsibility.
"Balancing that with academics was tough, but scheduling helped. I outlined daily tasks and gave each a time slot. When I was at rehearsals, I focused fully on that. When it was time to study, I gave my all. That discipline helped me manage both. Also, I had issues with results. Twice, I got grades that didn’t reflect my performance. Thankfully, the system allowed me to meet the lecturers, and corrections were made, but at the time, I was really worried that my efforts might be wasted.
