“To be honest, it wasn’t easy at all. I struggled a lot. But then I remembered good things don’t come easy, I legit have to put in the work to achieve what I wanted. I became friends with people that shared the same vision as me. I put in extra hours into studying. Above all, I never faulted in my prayers.”

Balancing Academics and Social Life

One of the greatest challenges for Precious was striking a balance between her rigorous academic workload and her social life.

She told Legit.ng:

“My most challenge was balancing my school work with my social life. I needed to have time for everything, so the other aspect of my life doesn’t lack. School has made me wiser. I learnt how to manage my time well. I strived to create the perfect balance. Basically, I used my time wisely.”

With her degree in hand, Precious now looks forward to the next chapter of her career.

“Right now, I am planning on sending out my application to a top law firm in Lagos. I have been wanting to intern there for as long as I can remember. Hopefully my academic achievement would grant me a slot at the firm. I also pray and hope that it would be a stepping stone to greater heights for me.”
