DAILY CAREER TIP 29.10.2013: That setback may just be the stepping stone

I had a resit in Mathematics (in Ife). I did not take the resit exams and so carried it over into my 200 level. I was consistently the best student in my secondary school, and so was confident about my academic ability. I was also hardworking, patient, prayerful and focused on the goal (attributes I picked up from my mum while growing up). I was fortunate to have another uncle who just graduated from UNIFE and who mentored me about the need to change my style. I needed to read textbooks, practice past questions and attend tutorial classes.
