TONYE001:
After YEARS of chasing MBBS...

Started 2007 when I did the Basic program at Uniport...I was about seven points short of the cut off...

I proceeded to study Human Physiology...

I wanted to switch at Year 1...but I didn't make up to 4 points....

I moved to Plan C: Get a 2-1 and do DE...

I got a 2-1.....but DE didn't come my way..

I got admission at Georgia after NYSC..I was denied entry..

I got admission at TAU, Guyana...Ebola came on board...West Africans were denied visa.

I got married to my darling babe..

We enrolled for M. Sc programs...(me, Human Physiology, she, Public Health)...

I gave DE another try.....

and...

I'm in!

University of Abuja!

Sincerely, the last time I was this excited was when our son was born...

Indeed, God is the greatest!

Indeed HE is. I have a similar story. 4 admission letters, Remedial prog, a B.Sc in Economics, post graduate Interior Design, NYSC.... 8 years later I made it. I just got admitted into MBBS University of Abuja. Looking forward to seeing you around. Thanks for sharing as I was feeling ancient before. I believe everyone's journey is unique...we might take some detours but we are on our way. What matters is that we get there.

To all my fellow students, aspirants & doctors: We start this journey not on our first day in class but the day we made up our mind to be doctors. Let's never forget WHY. Every decision & circumstance has been shaping us to be the best version of what humanity needs. Here's to keeping the HOPE alive.

Don't listen when they tell you to give up or you can't. I'm a living testimony of that. After 8 years I dusted my science books and crash studied in just 1 month & scored JAMB like never before! Not in any of my 3 tries. The only voice that determines your success is yours. Tell yourself that you can do it & you CAN! Mostly PRAY hard cos ONLY GOD can do it for you.

Thank you for reading. Hope my words will lift someone's spirit.
