Laworldz:
I think I remember you, You’re slim and very young. I was on the queue and when I heard associate degree, I was telling myself they won’t give this girl, but you were so bold, vocal and so so confident that along the line I started telling myself that this girl might just get it. And you did. People at my back just said ‘wow’
Congratulations

Yes, that’s me…….thank you.

I should have sent this a long time ago but I’m honestly just having the time now. Most importantly I want to emphasize that all this is nobody but GOD. I also want to thank God for all the nairalanders, you guys are awesome for creating a platform like this, it really helped me prepare and build up all my points and that’s why I’m giving back . I was going for an associates and I was granted. There is nothing impossible for God to do and I pray He grants unto you all your heart desires . Amen.

Glory to God because He did it, even, when I was doubting myself because I was going for associates and my sponsor was in the US. Honestly at some point you’d be anxious( towards the end when I said and do my best ��even me I was confused cos’ that was a mistake) but there’s nothing to be afraid of, he didn’t even ask for my sponsors bank statement at all. Just pray, prepare and do your best. Thank you Nairaland ❤️.
