A young lady has graduated as the best student in the Department of English and Literary Studies at Delta State University (DELSU), Abraka. She started her first business during her 100-level days and survived financial difficulties during her first semester in school. The graduate served as an SUG executive and a departmental leader while maintaining a high CGPA throughout her stay on campus.
Academic Success at DELSU
The graduate, known on TikTok as @damivicx1, explained that her journey started with financial hurdles in her first year, which forced her to monetize her skills. She noted that her set was made to write theoretical examinations, while previous students wrote objective questions. Despite the changes in the examination format, she excelled in her papers without relying on past questions. She stated that her academic performance improved significantly from her 300-level, where she began recording mostly A's.
Leadership and Business
While pursuing her degree, the lady served as the Financial Secretary of her department and later won an election to become the Senior Treasurer of the Student Union Government (SUG). She also held a leadership position in her church drama group and served as a class coordinator. In her final year, she recorded a CGPA of 4.85 in both semesters while serving as the SUG Director of Welfare. She eventually finished as the Best Graduating Student in the Class of 2025.
