Odelola celebrates Philosophy academic achievement on TikTok
After the ceremony, Dorcas Odelola took to TikTok to share the moment with her followers. Her post captured both the award and the sense of pride that came with finishing what many consider a challenging but rewarding course of study.
Philosophy is often regarded as one of the more demanding disciplines in the humanities, requiring students to engage deeply with logic, ethics, epistemology, and critical reasoning. Finishing at the top of such a department with a CGPA of 4.43 is a notable feat and a testament to consistent academic dedication across her years at the university.
Speaking with Legit.ng, Dorcas encouraged students currently studying Philosophy not to be discouraged by what people may say about the course if they have already chosen to pursue it.
The UNIOSUN graduate urged them to take their studies seriously and remain committed to doing what is right, stressing that the rewards of consistency and hard work may not always come immediately.
"Regardless of what people may say about Philosophy, if you have chosen it, do not back down. Give it your best and take your studies seriously. More importantly, keep doing the right thing. I strongly believe there is a certain peace that comes with knowing that you are doing what is right, even when nobody is watching. The reward may not come immediately, but with consistency, patience and hard work, you will eventually see the results," she said.
Beyond her academic achievement, Dorcas revealed that her experience as a Class Representative played an important role in shaping her during her university years.
She explained that being entrusted with the responsibility taught her valuable lessons about leadership, accountability, patience and interacting with different people.
"One thing I would like people to know is how much being a Class Representative shaped me. When people entrust a position to you, it means they believe you are capable of handling it. That responsibility taught me a lot about leadership, accountability, patience and dealing with people," she told Legit.ng.
Dorcas added that the experience also taught her that leadership does not require perfection, noting that making mistakes is part of the learning process. She encouraged people given responsibilities to give their best, learn from their mistakes and continue moving forward.
"It also taught me that leadership is not about being perfect. You will make mistakes, but you should be willing to learn from them and grow. Whenever people trust you with a responsibility, give it your best. You may make mistakes along the way, but please do not remain stuck in your mistakes. Learn, improve and keep moving," she said.
Reflecting on her overall university experience, the Philosophy graduate acknowledged that her journey was not perfect but said both the positive and difficult moments contributed to the person she has become.
She expressed gratitude for the people she met, the lessons she learnt and what she described as God's faithfulness throughout her studies.
"My university journey was not perfect, but every experience, both good and bad, contributed to who I am today. I am grateful for the journey, the people I met, the lessons I learnt and, above all, God's faithfulness throughout it all," Odelola said.
