She had to resit the examination the following year, delaying her academic progress by a year. She expressed that not only was it difficult to gain admission, but she also struggled with courses while in school. “Even at the university level, there were times it got tough,” she said.
“I thought I would resit certain courses, but giving up never crossed my mind. I had started it, so I had to complete it. I had to make my parents proud,” she added.
Her determination to succeed paid off and now she aspires to be an International Energy Law expert, a lecturer and a guru in the fashion industry citing that what seemed like a setback for her a few years ago was actually the beginning of multiple opportunities for her.
