However, Abodunrin’s mother encouraged her with words of wisdom and motivated her to keep working hard. She said her mother told her that the fact that she didn’t start well doesn’t mean she won’t end well, and that nothing good comes easy.

Abodunrin took her mother’s advice and decided to analyse her problems and find solutions.

Eventually, she announced that she graduated with a strong 4 points CGPA from the faculty of law, and thanked God for His grace and mercy.

She hoped her story would inspire other students who are facing similar challenges and encourage them to believe in themselves and their dreams.
