In her own words, Soremekun did not simply attend university to pass examinations. She took on responsibilities she sometimes questioned whether she was ready for, led initiatives, and volunteered her time, all while working to maintain academic excellence.

She acknowledged there were moments when the weight of doing so much felt overwhelming, but said she was grateful she never had to sacrifice one for the other.

"There were definitely moments when it felt like I was doing too much," she wrote, before adding that looking back, she would not have had it any other way.

She described closing the chapter with "a very full heart," a phrase that captured both the exhaustion and the satisfaction of four demanding years. For Soremekun, the first-class result is one part of a larger story, not the whole of it.
