Mum reacts to her son's UTME result
Loveth shared her son's picture along with a picture they had taken together. Narrating what transpired before she learnt of his real result, she stated that her boy, Marvin Terhide, pranked her at first by saying he scored 186.
He eventually told his mum he scored 286, causing a shift to happen within her. According to the single mum, she felt an unexplainable rush of joy the moment her son said he scored 286.
Reflecting on her struggles and challenges as a single mum, Loveth admitted that the journey has not been easy, as there had been sleepless nights and days of worry, but noted that moments like this make those sacrifices worth it.
To other mothers, especially single mums, doing their best, Loveth encouraged them that their efforts are not in vain and that their joy will speak loudly one day.
Her Facebook post read in full:
"I don’t even know where to start… my heart is so full right now.
"Today, my son called me and said, “Mom, my JAMB result is out.”
"My heart skipped. I asked, “What did you score?”
"He said, “186.”
"I paused and replied, “Hmm… you tried.”
"Next thing—I heard laughter. Deep laughter.
"Then he said, “Mom, I’m joking… I scored 286.”
"In that moment, something shifted inside me. Joy rushed through me in a way I can’t even explain. I just stood there… overwhelmed, grateful, proud.
"As a single mother, the journey hasn’t been easy. There were days of worry, nights of silent prayers, sacrifices no one saw. But moments like this… they make everything worth it.
"I am so proud to be your mom, Marvin Terhide.
"You’ve made me proud beyond words.
"To every mother out there doing her best, especially single moms—your efforts are not in vain. One day, your joy will speak this loudly too."
Expert speaks on things UTME top-performers do
Philips Olamide Oladele, a science subject expert and the founder of Ugradus Education Nigeria, Bosdo, Minna, Niger State, who spoke exclusively with Legit.ng highlighted certain things he thinks high-scoring UTME candidates do differently.
He explained:
"1. Many of them are naturally intelligent with a little touch of hard work, while some who are not academically talented give what it takes (under proper educational mentorship).
"2. Early preparation and personal study commitment are also great determining factors.
"3. Many of these exceptional students, too, are not first timers; they are students who have already overcome UTME phobia. Hence where less tense during the examination. Many of them don't even bother to prepare; they just thought they could guess their way to success, since it is a CBT exam."
