THE STORY OF IRENE____ A JAMBYTO

Having my name appear on UNN merit admission list for Microbiology was one of the best things that happened in my life this year. It was on a Sunday night I knew about it. I had just finished night devotion with my family and was about to go to bed when my aunty called. She had never called me that late. so when I saw her call I became jumpy. I didn’t know what to expect but the moment I picked she said, “Nne, congratulations you’ve been given admission at the University of Nigeria!”
“It’s a lie!” I exclaimed. “Auntie, are you sure?”
“Nne, of course, yes! Just start getting ready for Mahadum. Where is your mum?” she asked
“She should be in her room,” I explained
“Don’t worry, let me call her right away. I just wanted you to hear the news first.

I couldn’t sleep that night after hearing the good news. It was like a dream come true. I had written JAMB twice and on each occasion I applied UNN as my only choice but was repeated turned down. However, something in me gave me an inner strength and the courage that kept me believing that I would be a student of UNN. On each occasion I was refused admission, after scoring more than 200 in my Jamb and Post UTME, I want home and tried to study harder. I registered for extramural lessons and was as serious as I could during classed at Agama Lesson Centre, never mind that I was repeatedly bugged by some boys who thought I’m beautiful. For me, my admission was my priority and anything that is not geared towards helping me achieve that never sense.
I got tired of staying at home and like a drowning man who would do anything to save himself, I studied very hard. I sacrificed whatsapp, BBM and other social platforms that engulfed my time. I wanted to pay full attention to my studies. Truth be told, it wasn’t easy but I kept on keeping on because I knew it was just a matter of time. Could you believe that during that period I read Modern Biology cover to cover three times and made notes on my own? I also studied Ababio Chemistry and New School Physics the much I could. When my JAMB result came out I didn’t feel too good because it was just 224 but I banged 320 in my Post UTME. Somehow, I feel I deserve the admission UNN gave me.
Now that I have gotten admission and have finished my clearance, I think I should slow down particularly in my study life. Come on, I had lost much weight studying and for me, this is the time to chill for a moment. I just downloaded Whatsapp and currently I’m working on improving my social life.
Finally, UNNINFO, please you people should tell Students Affair or these ICT people to give me hostel because I’m currently squatting as a result of some issues I’m having. Honestly, this is not a good way to start up in a school that has been my dream for years.
I won’t end this article without encouraging people who are still like me those days. Please, don’t kill yourself because you have not gotten admission. Just know that God has a special plan for you. However, you need to study hard especially now that JAMB has tightened their belt very well by decide to go by only CBT. Well, there’s God o!
To help you do well, I would advise you dust your books and let your midnight candle start burning. Go through past questions as much as possible after each study hour. For UTME, get a copy of 909 and Total Victory Solution Set (TVSS) because those materials helped me a great deal. See you in the den soonest!
