“This journey took over a decade.

Finished secondary school in 2015.

Then life made a detour to study MLS at the great University of Ibadan.

Yet, I knew I wasn’t where I wanted to be.

So, I took JAMB again. Funny how the portal had already closed 2 weeks prior, but for some reason, they decided to reopen it for another 2 weeks that year.

The second JAMB, I scored 322 [49 marks above the last].

I could remember rushing out in excitement while waiting for a lecture that later didn’t hold.

I remember the exact outfit I had on.

That year, I got another shocker. The year 2017.

Post-UTME was to be written after all.

but the love for Medicine had me steadfast.

Part 5, I had a distinction in Pediatrics.

Then 3 days ago, 18th May 2026, at about 12–1 pm, I became a medical doctor.
