A Nigerian graduate, Iyiola Oladunjoye, shared his story of resilience after losing his father just days before his final exams. Despite the grief and instability, he managed to graduate with a first-class degree in microbiology from the University of Ilorin. He improved his GPA from 3.67 to 4.99 and dedicated his success to his late father.
See his post below …
From 3.67 to 4.99 GPA. Wasn’t in my right frame of mind that second semester. Lost my father few days to exam. I just thought to myself; if I eventually dropout due to financial reasons, I must do so in honor (to my father). Few years later, I graduated with a First Class Honors. https://t.co/AL4DAjgKEz pic.twitter.com/9GygDYATL8
