Academic Journey and Achievements
On her LinkedIn page, Goodness A. listed the leadership positions she held in school and how she emerged as the top graduate of her class. Her LinkedIn post read: 'Today is my convocation day at the University of Port Harcourt. I have thought over and over about how to write this post. Do I keep it simple or do I tell the story? How do you fit five years of becoming into a single post? So I won't try to compress it. Here's to the long days, the early mornings, and the late nights. To the days I worked while studying—combining tutoring, freelance work, and supporting my parents' business, all while trying to stay on top of my academics. To the tired days, the overwhelming days, and the days I had to push through uncertainty. To the days I cried because I felt I wasn't performing at my best. And yet I kept going.'
She added: 'Here's to resilience. To discipline. To showing up even when it felt like I had nothing left. It's a cheer to the journey. To God for keeping me. To my family, whose love and support carried me through. To my friends, lecturers, and acquaintances who supported me in different ways throughout this journey. Grateful for the growth that didn't always feel like growth in the moment.'
Degrees and Honors
Goodness celebrated the completion of her B.A. in Foreign Languages and Literatures with First Class Honours and a CGPA of 4.77/5.00. Along this journey, she also served as Vice President of the Faculty of Humanities Students Association (2024/2025) and Academic Adviser at CSI UNIPORT (2024/2025).
