🎓 Joint highest score for my undergraduate project.

But numbers don’t tell the whole story. Behind them were blackouts, late nights, my church’s sacrifice, CACSA UI, lecturers who pushed me, and friends who prayed with me.

[Thomas Adeoye @Thomas_A_A_]

Thank you JCI Nigeria University of Ibadan, everyone who nominated me, CACSA UI and NAPS UI 🙏

[Thomas Adeoye @Thomas_A_A_]

Until my final year, I didn't know JCI existed.

Then I saw their Fifteen Outstanding Persons' Award on someone's status. The criteria: excellent grades + helping others succeed.

I thought, "This is me." I ended up a top 3 nominee for Academic Excellence 🏆

@Demo4show Thank you, sir.

[Thomas Adeoye @Thomas_A_A_]

Special thanks to @MTNFoundationNG, BOVAS Charitable Foundation, David Dickson Educational Foundation, FSB and Egbe Omo Oduduwa Inc. of South Florida for investing in me 🙏

[Thomas Adeoye @Thomas_A_A_]

I once missed a scholarship because I didn't prepare well.

When MTN Foundation shortlisted me, I gave it everything. This time, I won.

It was one of five scholarships that meant my mum, who once borrowed for my school fees, never had to borrow again 🎓

#MyCertificateStory

[Thomas Adeoye @Thomas_A_A_]

MTN didn't just give money. They gave us free courses, and I started with Python and Data Science Essentials.

To anyone in school: when an opportunity comes, prepare like it's your only one.

[Thomas Adeoye @Thomas_A_A_]

My favourite result: MAT 141. I found it frustrating at first, then scored 97 (60/60 in the exam), the highest among 300+ students.

How I turned it around is a story for another day 😉

[Thomas Adeoye @Thomas_A_A_]

My mum took a loan to pay my first-year school fees. I refused to waste it.

My secondary school wasn't one of the best, so I asked for help everywhere I could.

I finished Year 1 at the University of Ibadan with a perfect 4.0 CGPA and made the Dean's Roll of Honour

#MyAward.

[Thomas Adeoye @Thomas_A_A_]

Some nights, one classroom wasn't enough, so we opened a second.

As Physics Academic Coordinator at the University of Ibadan, my team and I ran free tutorials for every department. 100+ students in a session.

It earned me Executive of the Year 🏆

#MyCertificateStory

[Thomas Adeoye @Thomas_A_A_]

I won several awards in school but never shared them online.

From tomorrow, I'll share one a day, with the story behind it.

For anyone doing quiet work that no one notices: it counts.

First up: Executive of the Year, NAPS, University of Ibadan 🏆
