Greetings to you all.l count it all privilege to participate on the Hive-Reachout Weekly Prompt 45 with the topic:"An Unforgettable Event"
The 16th of April, 2022, will forever remain an unforgettable day in my life — the day of my PhD convocation.
The experience of being decorated with the prestigious academic gown was a moment of overwhelming pride and joy, a feeling that words can hardly capture or cannot adequately express.
What made this achievement even more remarkable was the journey it took to get there. I was once a university dropout, having left Uthman Danfodio University, Sokoto, at 300 level. Life seemed uncertain, but grace found me, and against all odds, I rose again and pursued my dreams to the very pinnacle of academic success.
On that glorious day, I was awarded my PhD in Christian Education from Bethel Christian University, USA African campus in Abuja Nigeria. It was not just any ordinary convocation for me . I graduated as the overall best student of my set. Standing tall in my academic gown,
I felt the weight of years of hard work, prayers, and perseverance finally pay off.
Friends and family traveled long distances to celebrate this victory with me. They came from Benue State, Kaduna State, Lagos, and Kogi State to grace the event. Their presence turned the day into not just a personal victory but also a joyful reunion and a gathering of loved ones who had stood by me through thick and thin.
One of the most touching moments was when my friend, Aboje from Ichogolugwu Agatu, described the day as "the super story of the genius." His words perfectly captured the essence of the event as a testimony of resilience, hope, divine favor, and the power of never giving up.
Indeed, the 16th of April, 2022, is a day I will never forget. It reminds me that no matter how rough the journey may be, with faith, hard work, and the support of loved ones, dreams do come true.
My fellow hivers, I charge you never to give up.Thank you for reading.God bless you.
