This is so beautiful from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
Here we do not settle for less if first-class excellence is yet attainable.
Congratulations, Progress! ๐
The simplest rule of first-class excellence remains:
Start excellent!
Stay excellent!
Sign out excellent!
There is a reason why almost every BGS you know started with a 5.0 GPA, or something very close to that, and maintained it throughout.
I started on a 5.0 GPA, all As!
Every 5.0 CGPA story you've heard from UNILAG, etc., started the same.
During my 400 level, Dr. Martha-Abah, my Use of English lecturer in 100 level, told other lecturers in the department's room that "James was that student that knew what he wanted from the get-go!"
Put excellence first, and excellence will put you first.
Put it in second place (behind romantic relationships, sleep, business, or whatever), and you'll have your "had I known, I should've" second class, or even worse.
It is simple.
From the get-go, pay your dues to excellence, and it will keep its end of the bargain. It is a Lannister; it pays its debt.
And if you started on the wrong foot, you can't make up for the damage already done, but you can begin to script a more excellent story in the semesters that remain.
If first-class excellence is attainable, you have no business settling for less. ๐

Iโm currently conducting a research study for the Wale Lab Research-to-Impact Fellowship on how young adults in Nigeria use AI tools, social media, and other online sources for health information, and how these sources influence trust and health decisions.
Iโm looking for respondents who:
โ Are 18โ35 years old
โ Currently live in Nigeria
The questionnaire is anonymous, voluntary, and takes only about 2โ5 minutes to complete.
Your response would mean a lot and will contribute directly to this research.
Help Make My Scholarship Dream Come True ๐
I'm Adisa Blessing Oluwafikayo, a First-Class Mathematics graduate (CGPA: 4.76/5.0) from UNILORIN.
I'm happy to have been awarded a fully funded Master's scholarship in Mathematics at the University of Calabria, Italy.
Same with your academics.
Your university is not your house.
Build your grades.
Build your valuable connections.
Build your talents.
Build your perspective about life.
Build your mind.
Build your skill set.
Build your reputation.
Build your character.
Build your CV.
Build your leverages.
Build your brand.
Some students spend their university days building everything else in the university (club, fellowship, team) except themselves, then graduate out of that environment to start finding themselves.
I knew better than that, and thatโs why I have enjoyed the successes that I do.
Don't build every other edifice except yours!
@luna_empire77 Thank you, Kaitlyn.
That would definitely be series of stories to tell.
It'll unveil as we journey through this space, by God's grace ๐.
July, 2024! It was really a humbling period of my life.
My phone screen, filled with black ink, couldn't even use it to access recent notes and academic materials.
Had to use a button phone to make calls and get updates about classes and exams ๐ฅฒ.
I hope you wake up feeling excited about what you're building. May your work energize you instead of drain you. May you find purpose in your daily tasks and meaning in your long-term vision. You're creating something that matters, and the world is better because you're in it, doing what only you can do.
@GodspowerJ66747 Thinking about it already means it can be brought into existence.
The next bold step is to act on those ideas and bring it into fruition.
