"GETTING A DEGREE SOON" BY ABOLORE YUSHAB

_I remember the day I wrote my first exam_

_Hoping to get into the university of my dream_

_But fate had other plans for me_

_Admission failed and had to try again_

_I wrote the second exam with more confidence_

_But the admission was still not in my favour_

_I felt like giving up on my ambition_

_But something inside me told me to persevere_

_I wrote the third exam with all my might_

_And finally, I got the admission I desired_

_I was overjoyed and ready to start my journey_

_But little did I know the challenges ahead_

_I faced the stress of lectures and assignments_

_The pressure of exams and deadlines_

_The fear of failure and disappointment_

_The struggle of balancing academics and social life_

_I had my good days and bad days_

_Some days I felt proud of my achievements_

_Some days I felt depressed and hopeless_

_Some days I felt supported by my friends and family_

_Some days I felt alone and misunderstood_

_But through it all, I never gave up on my goal_

_I worked hard and prayed harder_

_I learned from my mistakes and improved myself_

_I grew from a naive student to a mature graduate_

_Now I'm getting my degree soon_

_And I can't believe how far I've come_

_I'm grateful to God for His grace and mercy_

_I'm grateful to my parents for their love and sacrifice_

_I'm grateful to everyone who helped me along the way_

_Getting a degree soon is not the end of my story_

_But the beginning of a new chapter_

_I'm excited and nervous about the future_

_But I'm ready to face it with courage and faith_
