Absolutely brilliant young man, and kudos to you for exhibiting such a proactive, tenacious and enthusiastic approach to following your aspirations!
You’ve most definitely set the barr very high for your peers/contemporaries to not only emulate, hence my prayer is they’ll strive to also replicate whatever their educational journey ambitions are, whether that is in a Vocational/Technical, or Academic discipline of choice.
I know your family members very well, particularly those on your Mummy’s side, so can imagine just how exhilarated and jubilant they must be, as you grasp this opportunity to attend University. Well done indeed + the tough work has only just begun.
Stay, focused, never allow distraction/obstruction from achieving uptimum excellence. *BEWARE of “malicious disciples”, who’ll most definitely be on the prawl to take you down! Choose your friends wisely, as not everyone who profess friendship is actually authentic. Lastly, always pray a lot for guidance…
