"It was on the 7th of August, 2019, that I wrote my entrance examination into the University of Ibadan—nervous, hopeful, quietly certain. The conventional thing to say now is "It feels just like yesterday." But honestly? It doesn't. It feels like exactly as long as it was: years of early mornings, long ward rounds, and the particular kind of exhaustion that only comes from seeing multiple patients in the gym and attending hour-long classes afterwards. (OGs can relate to what I am saying).
"There's a meme about spending your entire twenties clerking—and every time it crosses my feed, it hits closer to home than I'd like to admit. (I'll save you the math on my age.)
"What I carry out of those years isn't just a degree. It's the friends who quietly became family. It's the gift of contributing—through RedCross, TEDx, EIMOC-UI, ABHLnD, GenZHackathon, to mention but a few—to something larger than myself. It's the steady, humbling knowledge that none of this is self-made.
"Every door that opened, every grace that held me when I was ready to fold—I owe that to God. Here's to adulthood: the weight of it, the wonder of it, and everything still unwritten.
"Ayo James, PT (University of Ibadan) First Class honours. Second-best graduating student. I figured I'd mention it at the end, where it belongs. Gracias."
