The single mother took to the microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to tell her motivational tale in a series of tweets.
She disclosed that during her 200-level course, she fell pregnant, which made things more challenging. She also mentioned that her family did not give her any financial assistance, so she had to take care of herself while struggling with her studies.
The single mom highlighted that her road hadn’t been an easy one, but her accomplishment is a testament to the notion that anybody can do anything if they set their mind to it.
She wrote;
“I’m a single mom who got pregnant in my 200Level. Even though I had no financial support from family, I still graduated with a first class degree. My journey wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. I am so proud of my achievements and I hope my story inspires others who face similar challenges.
I am sharing this today for anyone who has been reduced or who’s contemplating giving up because of the stigma associated with pregnancy or any other thing whatsoever. You are not limited. You are not who people say you are. You are what you make yourself.
I have received all sorts of insults, mockery, condescension, because of my baby. Today, this baby is my biggest source of joy. My happiness knows no boundaries, and all she has brought me is blessings. A reason to keep fighting and exceeding.
Being in FUTA, and in Computer Science is already tough enough, regardless, I knew no one was coming to help me. All I had was God. He stood by me, and even though I’m tired many times, His strength upheld me, and here I am, TWICE AS TALL.”
