I scored 267 in my JAMB UTME. Scored 79% in post-UTME. Got admitted into UI to study my course of choice (English). That was in 2015, the same year when the cutoff mark for law was just 74. There's something unique I want to point out here: Unlike many people who studied English just because they couldn't meet the cutoff point for their actual courses of choice, my own case was different. I consciously chose to study English. I developed a mind of my own right from secondary school and decided not to follow the crowd. Actually, I've always been that guy who likes to be different from others. And as a secondary school student, I noticed that most students had specific prospective courses that were common among them. Science students hankered after medicine. Arts students pined for law or mass communication. Commercial (social science) students had accounting as their anthem. So, I told myself I wasn't going to jump on the bandwagon. I was an Arts student (a brilliant one at that), so everyone just expected I'd automatically study law. But I wasn't one to pander to people's expectations. I'd rather think things through and decide my own path. So, I chose to study English at the expense of law or mass communication. What am I saying? Avoid following the crowd or bowing to expectations. Carve your own path always. Know what you want, and go for it. ©YUA
