“I first put God into the equation of whatever I wanted to do, as a Christian, I believe strongly in putting God first in all things. Secondly, I analyzed the things I did wrong in my 100Level (including sitting in the middle row of the class, not reading on weekends) and made up my mind to not make those mistakes for the rest of my years in school. Thirdly, I painstakingly picked my circle of friends to ensure I was well motivated to bring my best to the table,” he said.
