Redeemer's University graduate's message to late dad
According to Emmanuel, he did a two-year diploma in the same field before gaining admission into Redeemer's University for a bachelor's degree in it.
Emmanuel admitted that there were times he considered giving up, and when the weight felt too heavy to bear, but he kept pushing.
He revealed that his father died months before his final year, and he had a heartfelt message for his late dad, as well as everyone who walked the road with him.
His LinkedIn post read:
"6 years in the making. Finally done.
"2 years for my Diploma in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and 4 more for my B.Eng in the same field. Different classrooms, different seasons, but one goal I refused to let go of.
"There were so many moments I almost gave up. Times the weight felt too heavy and finishing felt further away than ever. Months before my final year, I lost my dad, and there were days I didn't know how I'd find the strength to keep going. But I kept showing up, one day at a time, because stopping was never really an option.
"I couldn't have done this without my family. Their support carried me through the moments I couldn't carry myself, and I'll never take that for granted.
"Being inducted into The Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) at Redeemer's University as a Graduate member (GMNSE), during this same season reminded me that growth isn't only measured in grades. It's measured in character, service, and the willingness to keep going even when it's hard. Dad, I know you're proud of me. This one's for you. To everyone who walked this road with me, lecturers, mentors, coursemates, and friends, thank you. This chapter is closed, but the best is still ahead."
