LASU first-class graduate shares struggles he faced
Boluwatife listed some of the struggles he faced before and after his admission into school, while stating his achievements.
He wrote in his tweet:
“Did a thing today…5 Convocation Prizes, 23 Awards as an Undergraduate, 16 Leadership Positions, 4 quality Internships. Reintroducing: Boluwatife Kolawole (LLB First Class Honours). Best Graduating Student, Faculty of Law.
“In secondary school, I had mowed lawns and worked in block industries to make ends meet. After secondary school, I worked in Bet9ja shops and served food at parties to survive. In the university, I taught at secondary schools and tutorial centres, and I hosted events for money.
“I survived a fire incident that gutted my hostel at midnight in 100 Level. In 400 Level, I survived the midnight storm that lifted my hostel roof at 3 am. I survived dozens of ocular migraine attacks, and I survived the natural consequences of a broken family.
“I moved on from these factors to achieve this significant academic success, auditing 72 courses in 5 years and earning 58 A’s, 9 B’s, 4 C’s, and 1 D, culminating in an overall finish as BGS of Law at the #Lasu28thConvocation.”
