A graduate of the University of Ibadan (UI) has shared his emotional journey through academic struggles and eventual success on social media. The young man, identified on Facebook as Samuel, celebrated completing his university education after years of challenges that nearly stopped him.
He eventually bagged degrees in Education Management Economics/Political Science from the institution. The UI graduate explained that he faced several difficult moments during his time in school, including watching his own students get university admission ahead of him.
According to him, some of his mates who graduated earlier mocked him and threw hurtful comments at him because of his academic situation. He expressed gratitude for bagging two degrees, noting that he is the first male graduate in his family.
Sam Calvary Stories said: "The struggles eventually paid off, now I'm a testament that God's time is never too late, is it seeing my very own students getting admission into universities before me, or some of my mates graduating from universities throwing jabs at me, or the frustrating part where observation, teaching practice, practicum and even project almost deter my determinations... But here I am, bagging two degrees B.Ed/B.Sc Education Management Economics/Political Science... First male graduate in my family... It can only be God."
