Taking to Instagram to share her story, a Nigerian lady
identified as Ekpenyong Crystal narrated how she graduated 9 years
after she was kicked out of medical school because she failed woefully.
Here’s her story as she gives a summary of what happened in the last 9 years;
“This smile on my face has come to stay!!!!!!! 08/09 : Med/surg
2010/2011 : Failed mbbs woefully
2011/2012 : Failed resit exams woefully….. Yes, I was withdrawn from
med/surg! Something that most of my closest friends will be finding out
today!
2012/2013 : Started afresh in Clinical Biochemistry
2013/2014 : Promoted to the next level with weak grades and a terrible GP. Well, I was frustrated!!
2014/2015 : Failed woefully…. Had to repeat the class. At this point I was already tired and giving up!
2015/2016 : Probation year…. The turning point year….. The year my God
changed my F’s to A’s…. 2016/2017 : Final year…. I survived two hospital
admissions, a seizure, resistant malaria… An adverse drug reaction… And
Asthma!! Still, i was able to ‘grab’ 7A’s and 4B’s.
Today
: The journey of Nine years has come to an end. I went from a “Pass”
CGPA to a Second class Upper Division CGPA. I went from Hopeless Failure
to being among The top 5 best graduating students in my department.
Today, I am a certified Clinical and Forensic Biochemist! Today I am a
living proof that God can pick you up from ashes and make you soar like
the eagles. I am El’Exito…”
