This event was very crucial because my mom, my aunt, and their whole family came together just to celebrate me. At the same time, it was an event where I had invited my close friend who lived in Brunt, and she sacrificed to come to this event. After the event, I held a party with my family members, and then my family threw a party for me. I also traveled to Mombasa for about three days, where I was able to enjoy the beaches and the view of the coast, and I had a lot of fun at that event. This event was very important for me because I was the first girl to go to university, and I honored the wish of my grandfather, who had really wanted me to go to university, even though it is late now. I had to work very hard to fulfill his dream. It was vital for me to get a degree because I was able to get a job. What I'm working at now is a result of that certificate I obtained after graduation. At the same time, I gained respect from society. They honored me as the only girl who conquered the barriers in society to get a degree. In addition, it has enabled me to travel internationally because, through this certificate, I've been able to win a competition, which was a grammatical competition held in Abuja.
