In 2018, I entered the University of Ilorin with: 
🎯 UTME score of 342/400, 
🎯 an O'Level result of 7 As and 2 Bs, 
🎯 and a Post UTME score of 82%. 

Starting with a CGPA of 5.0, I set my sights on excellence with one goal: to achieve an \"A\" in each course, one at a time.

With resilience, perseverance, and dedication, I maintained a high CGPA while topping my department and faculty right from the first year till the final year, ultimately graduating with a CGPA of 4.96/5.0.

 Here's a breakdown of how it all went:

1️⃣ First Year: Completed with a CGPA of 5.0, marking a strong start.

2️⃣ Second Year: Despite studying hard, I ended up with one B in a practical course. I learned that practicals weren't always in my control, so I focused on maximizing control over everything I could.

3️⃣ Third Year: Achieved all A's in my core courses but received another B in a practical. I accepted that practicals might have their challenges, but my focus on other courses kept me on track.

4️⃣ Fourth Year: Again, all A's except for a B in—you guessed it—practicals.

5️⃣ By my final year, I was determined to test my hypothesis: if practicals were excluded, I could maintain a 5.0 GPA. With no practicals in the mix, I studied hard, took three extra lower-level courses, and earned A's in all my courses, including my project.

This journey taught me a lot about resilience, and it came with achievements I'm incredibly grateful for:
