Win or not I am so proud of myself and filled with so much joy and fulfilment for I am about to accomplish what once seemed impossible. I envisioned this moment and I’m about to make it a reality.
“This journey hasn’t been easy for me mentally and emotionally. The tears , the pain , the trauma. The days I felt like giving up, the days I felt unworthy and undeserving. However, I refuse to let anyone or anything dim my vision. This achievement is not just mine but it’s for NIGERIA , it’s for AFRICA. Your support and encouragement has been the fuel to my fire. To anyone who has ever doubted themselves, I see you and i believe in you . Your dreams are valid. Dont let fear hold you back. Don’t let doubt whisper you can’t because YOU CAN.”
