EKSU Graduate Triumphs After GPA Drop from 4.0 to 2.8

A graduate of Business Administration from Ekiti State University (EKSU), identified on social media as @_mubinahh, has celebrated her academic success after overcoming a significant setback during her first year. She took to TikTok to share her convocation shoot while reflecting on how her grades plummeted during her 100-level second semester.

The Academic Challenge

She explained that she recorded three 'E' grades at the time, which caused her Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) to drop from a perfect 4.0 to 2.8. According to her, the experience was so overwhelming that she initially thought it was a dream. The young lady noted that the period was filled with emotional distress as she struggled to figure out how to navigate her studies after the setback.

Overcoming the Struggles

Despite the initial tears and confusion, she remained resilient throughout her stay at the university. Sharing her victory, @_mubinahh said: "Graduating with second class upper cuz life didn't end when I had 3 Es in 100l 2nd semester and my CGPA dropped from 4.0 to 2.8. At first I thought it was a dream. It was not easy then. I cried out and I asked myself that where do I start from but look at me now graduating with a second class upper. It can only be God."
