But giving up was never part of the plan. Today, I celebrate not just a degree, but resilience, growth, sacrifices, and Allah's faithfulness throughout this journey. B.Sc. Sociology, University of Ibadan, Class of 2025. To everyone who supported, encouraged, prayed for, and believed in me, thank you. This achievement is as much yours as it is mine. This is not the end of the journey; it's the beginning of a new chapter."
