The story of 19-year-old Uzoamaka Daniella, the 2014 best graduating
student of the Babcock University, Ogun State, underscores the adage
which says that when one is admiring the success of an accomplished man,
there is the temptation to think that he never experienced any
difficulties or hard times in life.
Ms Uzoamaka, born on June 14, 1994, the
third in a family of five says her philosophy of life borders on
equality, purity and excellence. The Public Administration first class
graduate obtained a Cumulative Grade Point Average 4.86 out of 5.00 to
emerge as the best graduating student of the school. Continue...
Some of the honours she received are the
President’s Award, Senior Vice-President Prize, the Dean, Business
School Award and the Academic Programme award in Public Administration. Looking at her academic record at the
university, one would think that her road to success was tiled with gold
through and through or that she was never associated with any manner of
scholarly disappointment. This view is, however, far from reality.
In fact, before the harvest of
scholastic successes, the youngster had witnessed some rough edges of
academic frustration. Particularly, at her primary and secondary school
levels, she was not just an average pupil, she also experienced
unpleasant academic moments. For instance, she wrote the Senior
Secondary Certificate Examination conducted by the West African
Examinations Council and the National Examinations Council four times.
The Orlu, Imo State-born native, who
attended Wellspring College, Omole Phase Two, Ikeja, Lagos, linked her
motivation to her twin sister, Gabriella who studied Industrial
Chemistry at the Covenant University, Ogun State and also obtained a
first class. Asked whether she would have obtained the same result in a public university, she said yes.
