From chemistry carryovers to nursing honours
The lady, identified by the handle @Ms Petite on X, explained that her final year of studying chemistry was marked by academic setbacks so severe they left a lasting emotional toll.
Rather than accept that outcome as the full measure of her potential, she made the decision to start again.
In her own words, Ms Petite shared how she transformed pain into purpose. She had long harboured an interest in nursing but had not initially pursued it.
The struggle she experienced in her first degree became the push she needed to finally go after what she truly wanted.
She narrated:
"Was traumatised by 12 carryovers in the final year of my 1st degree (chemistry). Ended up with a 3rd class and I turned my trauma into energy to pursue a 2nd degree in Nursing (which I had wanted so long). I ended up with a First class honours."
