Despite her love for trying new experiences, she admits to feeling apprehensive about change.
First-Class Achievement Against All Odds
Reflecting on her academic journey, Precious candidly said:
“To be honest, it wasn’t easy at all. I struggled a lot. But then I remembered good things don’t come easy, I legit have to put in the work to achieve what I wanted. I became friends with people that shared the same vision as me. I put in extra hours into studying. Above all, I never faulted in my prayers.”
Balancing Academics and Social Life
One of the greatest challenges for Precious was striking a balance between her rigorous academic workload and her social life.
She told Legit.ng:
“My most challenge was balancing my school work with my social life. I needed to have time for everything, so the other aspect of my life doesn’t lack. School has made me wiser. I learnt how to manage my time well. I strived to create the perfect balance. Basically, I used my time wisely.”
Keys to Success: Dedication and Seeking Help
Unlike some high-achievers who attribute their success to inherent talent, Precious humbly states that she did not possess any special skills.
Speaking with Legit.ng, she said:
“I tallied with people that knew more than I did. I sought help when I needed one. I prayed a lot too.”
Looking Ahead: Ambitions and Aspirations
With her degree in hand, Precious now looks forward to the next chapter of her career.
“Right now, I am planning on sending out my application to a top law firm in Lagos. I have been wanting to intern there for as long as I can remember. Hopefully my academic achievement would grant me a slot at the firm. I also pray and hope that it would be a stepping stone to greater heights for me.”
Precious also has a simple yet profound message for anyone chasing their dreams:
“Never settle for less. There’s always more to be achieved. The mind is a powerful tool. Also, hold GOD TIGHT.”
Her journey is a testament to the rewards of perseverance, faith, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
