“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly.”

– Proverb

Where do I start from? All I will say is that it ended well. The exam started on the 14th of February where I had to take excuses that I might not be active which most times, I saw myself on this platform but it got to a certain point, I just had to pend some activities to focus fully on this last semester's examination. Sincerely, I got your full backings and supports which has left me in awe. It got to a point, I was like "will they come by my recent post?" because I only come to publish my articles without being active but you all did surprised me for always showing up and not leaving my content empty without your likes and comments.

I am really grateful and here am I to say "I have returned with full force".

Going back to memory lane, I remember when I got admitted into the University and how I got a miracle on my first journey which made me realize that God indeed was in support of me coming down here. Despite family rejecting and refusing me of coming here, I still apply with my sister assuring me that all will be well.

I just cannot fathom God's unending love in my life for keeping me to this time and letting me write my final papers with ease. Throughout the exams, God never ceased helping me because I held onto Psalm 121 where my help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

I met my friends in the Journey and they have been amazing and God's protection has been over us from the beginning to the end. For the past days and weeks, I just couldn't stop seeing myself graduating and it's a surprise because many started the race but didn't end well. Is it my doings? is it my daily prayers? No, I have enjoyed everything by His grace and Mercy.

There is a particular road where accident do occur often, when I pass through the road, I am always scared but God has never left me alone nor forsake me. All I would say is "God, I am super grateful".

Now, I can proudly say I am a Graduand and would become a graduate soon when I have been given my certificate of the study. Like seriously? I am ending well. Their efforts never went in vain in my life.

Should I talk about the numerous opportunities I have met through this journey? At first in my 200 level when I just started, everything was hard which I know. I would skip morning and afternoon meal just to eat towards evening and wait till the next day. Many times, I have slept with nothing in my stomach but in 300 level, everything changed for good.

It's now my decision to eat whenever I want and not eating what I do not want. I eat anything I want just because things turned around for me through those opportunities God brought my way.

I can and will never forget the beautiful people I met throughout my programmes- both online and offline. This made me know there are those who cares even when others are only pretending.

I learnt many lessons along the way. I realized it is only by God's help, we can do things and become successful.

Where we have students who read hard and denied themselves sleep overnight are having low grades compared to those who didn't. That was when I knew education is all about connection. But do you know one thing? God never leaves His children who worked hard alone. He has His way of turning everything around to suit His beloved children.

Stepping into the college, I told God never to repeat a course and He did answered my prayers and here I am today proud of myself and the development in me.

• Enough of those sleepless nights

• Enough of running around to fight for the front seat

• Enough of looking for your group members to pay up for assignments

• Enough of impromptu tests

• Enough of attending lectures early in the morning and returning back home in the evening so tired, most especially being in school all day and the course representative would be like "The lectures are not holding".

• Enough of fighting to mark the attendance first before its collection. etc

Even if all of these are over, I won't still stop learning because it continues until death. I know there are more journeys ahead of me and I would not stop seeking for more knowledge.

Let me stop here as I am just too excited this day. I really appreciate everyone who kept coming to support me. God will always meet all your desires. Thank you so much 🤗
