Legit.ng reached out to the law graduate who recently passed her bar exam to get insight into her story.
Speaking in an exclusive chat, when asked if she ever imagined she would achieve the dream she wrote in her yearbook when she was just 16 years of age, she had this to say:
"Yes, I did. Initially, I wanted to become a doctor, but when I got to secondary school, I realised that I struggled with many of the science subjects. I knew medicine wasn't for me, so I had to rethink my dream. That's when the idea of becoming a lawyer came up, and from that point, I pursued it wholeheartedly."
She also spoke about the difficult part of her journey from secondary school to law school during a brief talk with Legit.ng.
On the most challenging part of her journey, she explained:
"The most difficult part for me was discovering my reading pattern. In secondary school, I saw people read quickly and understand things immediately. I tried to do the same, but it didn't work for me. After secondary school, I had to change my approach and learn how I understood information best. Once I figured that out, my CGPA improved every year at the university."
She also had an answer when asked if, at any point, she felt like giving up on her dream.
Her statement:
"I don't think I ever wanted to give up on my dream, but there were definitely times when I became very tired, both in university and in law school. What kept me going every time was my family. I am the last of three children, and I watched my siblings go through university and even earn their master's degrees, so there was no room for giving up. My parents' prayers also sustained me. During law school, my mum called me every morning for four weeks just to pray with me, and that meant everything to me."
Abimbola expressed confidence in herself as she explained during the chat that she knew she was going to perform well in her examinations at law school.
Her statement:
"I knew I was going to pass, but I was very anxious about the grade I would get. The night before the results were released, my mum slept in my room because she knew how nervous I was. When the results finally came out and I saw my grade, I was relieved and so happy that I was done with that."
Lastly, she had some advice for individuals who are working towards achieving their dreams.
"Just go for it. Writing your dreams down is like giving yourself a reminder of the plans you have for your future. I remember writing down everything I wanted to achieve academically in SS3, and it became a rse, but once you discover what works for you, you will be fine. In my final year, I rewrote my International Law notes about five times because I learned best by writing things down, and that course was particularly difficult for me. In the end, the results showed that my efforts paid off."
"Most importantly, pray like you haven't read and read like you haven't prayed. If you do both, you will definitely see results."
"I would also say that having someone who shares the same goals and aspirations can help you stay committed to your dreams. I was fortunate to surround myself with some of the best people."
"My best friend, Tosan, who happened to be my roommate from 100 level, was the motivation and support system I needed throughout university. By God's grace, we were also roommates in Law School. This journey would not be complete without her. Alot of other people that i wont be able to list their names because of space but they helped my journey to becoming."
