Female First Class Graduate of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology,Ogbomoso in the department of Biochemistry Mary Jesulade Oyindamola, has taken to her LinkedIn page to narrate how she broke a 21-year-old jinx in her department.
She stated that getting admission into the university was not an easy one for her. Mary revealed that right from the registration point, people said her department of biochemistry is a difficult one.
The lady said that since the department was created in 2000, there has never been a first-class graduate.
While people were trying to discourage her from going to the department, the lady told herself: “People will always air their opinion on subject matters, but it’s left to you to manage these opinions the best way you can and prove them right or wrong.”
The young Nigerian lady revealed that she also told herself that she would do the unimaginable with God. She beat the odds and had first class at 100 level. She made it!
Some senior colleagues who saw her result asked her to switch if she does not want her result ‘axed’ but she stayed. Despite the fact that her CGPA took a hit along the way, she bounded back and coasted to victory in her final year with a first-class.
