National Open University student who gained admission in 2018 bags degree after 8 years, posts story

“But eventually, I got the admission.And it was the best day of my life! …until Nursing looked at me and said, “my dear, I will finish you.” I fought HARD being a Student nurse by Day Fashion Designer by night.Sleepless nights upon sleepless nights studying,Sewing,Plus Vigil church rehearsals! My God!

“There were days I got to the ward and ended up crashing in one corner from exhaustion.I would literally take clothes to night class,nights to exams to sew buttons while reading through surgical nursing procedures and still having to show for 8am classes!

“These habits even got me an award during a comic session at our induction: ‘Best Graduating Student in Sleeping of the Class.’ I laughed so hard when they called my name but at thesame time it brought tears to my eyes.Because it wasn’t just a joke.It was a reminder….Of how hard I worked….Of how much I pushed myself…..Of how I kept going, even when I was tired.

“And I’m usually not one to give myself credit…but that moment felt like a loud call saying…..“Aliu, you did that!…You worked for this…You showed up for yourself….You didn’t give up. And today, I’m choosing to be proud of my journey so far in Nursing school.God carried me through every single step… and this is only the beginning.”
