University Graduate Tells Her Success Story of Going From 2.79 GP to 4.02 GP


Shonibare Raheemah Kehinde, graduated with a BSc Zoology in 2020. Her academic and extra-curricular experiences at Lagos State University, helped her become one of her class best students with a Second class upper division with growth from 2.79 to 4.02 GP, Time Out.

Back in the days, when I was in secondary school, I’m not a bright student compared to my twin sister. I used to think I’m not a brilliant student, I don’t like reading books, I only read 1 week to exam. After I graduated, I studied for JAMB and had a score of 262. I was shocked because in my life I have not had good results like that. I discovered that It was because I didn’t like studying and I don’t have a high rate of assimilation that was why I don’t have good grades in College.

In 2016/2017 when I gained admission into the university, I had a mindset of graduating with first class, but I had the greatest shock of my life in my first year in school and this was because I didn’t put in more effort.

It wasn’t so great, I started with the GP of 2.79 (Second class lower) and I had a carryover. I was very disappointed in myself, but I didn’t let it get to me that much because I’m very sure of what I’m capable of. Knowing nobody cares about excuses, I set a goal for myself to graduate with a second upper class honors. The road was not easy, but I continue putting more effort and keeping my hopes alive.

In my third year, I achieve my aim, but still not satisfied because I was yearning for more. I set another goal to graduate with not only a second class upper but with a solid GP (4.00 upward). I continue to strive and putting more effort to have a good GP in each semester.

I feel accomplished because the conviction that intelligence and performance can be improved. My life as a change in a great way since the day I had a Growth mindset.

I am always amazed every time I checked my GP, I see the blessings of Allah because without him I am nothing. Allah as blessed and guide me in several ways that my gratitude can’t be enough. I also want to thank my parents for the prayers, love and support they have given me since the day I was born.

Today I can gladly say I am proud to be Second class upper graduate with the GP of (4.02/5.0). The growth from 2.79 GP to 4.02 GP as has been a rough journey but I made it by the grace and mercies of Allah.

Nobody is born brilliant but we all find our way around it and you don’t have to be extremely good before you achieve great things in life. Great things are achieved through determination, massive efforts and commitments.

“It is not only how you started sometimes, it’s about how you end..”

I hope my story inspires someone positively.. Thanks for reading to the end…Success.

THE END.
