My final exams were just released, and I just confirmed my CGPA, you may be thinking why I am excited over it even though it's not first class but let me explain briefly.

Starting school at a young age, I had a tough time taking my studies seriously. I didn't pay much attention to my notes. This carried on into secondary school, where my grades were just average. I managed to score 188 in JAMB, 230 in my POST UTME, got 1b, and C's in my NECO, which I used to process my ission cos my school WAEC was withheld, and I didn't bother to retake it.

I was only 15 when I started university, a friend's candid portrayal of university life had prepared me for what lay ahead, or so I thought.

My first challenge was my roommate, a very unserious fellow. His mockery of my attempts to establish disciplined study habits took its toll on me, leading to a particularly trying semester during which I had 3 carry-overs, my worst ever.

Before the next semester began, I talked to my family about changing my lodge. They advised me to stay where I was until my second year, but deep down, I knew it wasn't right for me. So, I had to hustle up cash and with the help of my beloved aunt (RIP Ma'am) I was able to rent my own space, the best and most expensive lodge around school as at that time…

This time I will be staying alone till further notice, the GP hustle began. I would read and read, only me, as I never liked group reading or night class stuff. I began to excel academically, was a thing of joy, the last time I felt that brilliant was during my Junior secondary school days.

While I was improving my grades, I also needed to earn money. My family's decreased because my dad was sick. So, I had to balance between learning skills for financial independence and keeping up with my studies. It wasn't easy, and I missed classes sometimes, but I kept trying. Eventually, things got better, and I was even able to buy a car last year.

But life threw a big challenge at me during the first semester of my final year, my dad ed away. I had to handle a lot of responsibilities as the first son, and to make things tougher, my uncles scheduled the burial a few days before my exams. I was sick during the exams, but I pushed through and did my best.

And now, the results are out, and I did really well. I've overcome this phase of my life, and I'm so grateful. It's not just about the grades; it's about the journey of going from struggling to succeeding. Thank God for guiding me through it all.

Nice

@Op, congratulations!!! The real world 🌍 has begun. All you need now is to concentrate on your area of strength as IT is vast. Once again, congratulations.

This is very inspiring, Congratulations OP.
Sorry about your loss BTW

Congratulations on your achievement, Cooolme.

My condolences.


Anyways, in life, you have to use your instrument in the best direction you can.

Why struggle to have a 4.4gp and still come out with second-class upper as someone else with a 3.5gp. When the person didn't struggle but made sure his gp wasn't below 3.5

OP what exactly do you do to make money, cut me some fish.

Bro if you want to work in tech directing that effort to your actual programming skills would help you go a farther way

CGPA actually matters in of scholarships and some other opportunities.

A very big congratulations 👏 brother, my own testimony is on its way 🙂
May God bless all your efforts and grant you your innermost desires speedily in Jesus name ...Amen "

My target was actually first class, unfortunately I had some setbacks in the form of Carry-overs. So, you see?

Congrats OP, wish you the very best as you forge ahead.

Congratulations man, I'm so happy you kept pushing...

I was 16 when I finished high school but since my family was poor, I couldn't further but was pushed into nwaboi apprenticeship. Jeezzzz, I regret every moment in that place — all aspects of my life degraded!

I'm currently trying to start earning online by being an author and will certainly get back to school. I want to make sure every breathe I take is the right one because when I die, I wanna make sure I lived for a reason.

Happy for you man, wish you good and always keep it real. You only live once!
