UNIPORT graduate wrote UTME 4 times
On her LinkedIn page, Ezinne Ojukwu gave a timeline of her academic journey, revealing that she graduated with a second-class upper degree.
Her LinkedIn post read:
"A Grad who ATE. With a dangerous 2.1, all the way from Abagana. (That was all I had planned to say) But for some reason, I feel nudged to share more, so I'll go a little deeper.
"Here's my academic journey in a nutshell: ➡️ 2017: Completed sec. school ➡️ 2017 - 2020: Attempted JAMB 4 times in pursuit of Medicine. This season was the embodiment of "Sorrows. Sorrows. Prayers.' Nobody declined courses reach me. "Medicine or nothing" was my mantra.
"➡️ 2020 - Gave up & accepted Microbiology. Didn't care much for it. I was just tired of a draining cycle. ➡️ 2020 - 2025: Academic timeline with a side dish of strike and an involuntary school break. ➡️ 2026: You're all caught up. (Hold on, I'm going somewhere . . .)
"The switch from Medicine to Microbiology not only dampened my spirit. It also made me feel like I wasn't smart enough. So, I aimed for what I felt was attainable - 2:1. It wasn't until my final year that I realised a 1st class wasn't unrealistic. My results proved it as well, but it was a little too late. (Typical Federal Uni behaviour)
"Long story short: If you're currently in Uni right now, and for some reason, you think you're not cut out for the best. Re-evaluate yourself. Don't let past experiences or anyone define what you can and cannot achieve. ✅ The sky is not too far for you to reach."
