UNILORIN final-year student shares experience
On her LinkedIn page, Olayinka Ijaiya shared how she had always been afraid of writing the professional examination.
The LinkedIn post read:
"I wrote my final Professional Examination on the 2nd of June, 2026. Hi LinkedIn,I apologize for the little break. Your girl has been working really hard offline to earn her Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science ( B.MLS ) degree.
"Ever since my 200 level, Professional Examinations were something I feared. Why? We were constantly reminded that these examinations were not just another set of tests, they were a culmination of years of lectures, practicals, sleepless nights, continuous assessments, clinical postings, and countless hours of studying. When I sat for my first Professional Examination, I was nervous, uncertain, and filled with questions.
"Thankfully, it ended in success and gave me the confidence to keep pushing forward. Fast forward to June 2nd, 2026, and I sat for my second and final Professional Examination in the Hematology specialty of Medical Laboratory Science. Surprisingly, this time was different.Instead of fear, I felt excitement.Instead of anxiety, I felt prepared.
"I walked into the examination hall smiling, and I walked out smiling too. That smile was not because the examination was easy. It was because I could see how far I had come. It was the smile of someone who had spent years learning, growing, making mistakes, asking questions, attending practical sessions, and gradually building competence and confidence. Four years ago, I was afraid of this examination.
"Today, I was excited to write it. That's what growth looks like. This journey has taught me that growth often happens so quietly that we do not notice it until we are faced with a moment that once terrified us. What used to be one of my greatest academic fears became an opportunity to demonstrate everything I had learned.
"As I await the next phase of this journey, I am grateful to God, my lecturers, mentors, classmates, family, friends, and everyone who has contributed to my growth over the years. Medical Laboratory Science has challenged me, stretched me, and shaped me in ways I never imagined."
