19yrs Old bags Best Graduation Record - Age stopped me from going to Unilag

-

Aduekpe Precious Edinaeval, 19, hail from Abi Local Government Area in Cross River State, born to Mr Samuel Adu Aduekpe and Mrs Grace Nkanu Aduekpe, became the star attraction at the fifth convocation ceremony of McPherson University, Seriki Sotayo, Ogun State. She graduated with Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 4.97, Department of Accounting. By her performance, Aduekpe set a new graduation record.  Her score is the best since the inception of the university eight years ago. She went home with 10 prizes, including the Visitor Leadership, Chairman Award, Board of Trustees, Chancellor, Pro-Chancellor and Vice Chancellor prize.



She wrote her UTME in March 2016 and scored 301. I was very excited and thankful for the result. “WASSCE came in May/June. I obtained 7As in Mathematics, Economics, Financial Accounting, Government, Commerce, Computer Studies and Civic Education respectively, B2 in English Language and B3 in Data Processing and later emerged the Valedictorian of the set.

“However, when my first choice, University of Lagos, came up with its admission requirements, I didn’t meet up. I wasn’t 16 years old as at the date of the admission exercise. Not wanting to wait a year and while weighing other options, my mother brought McPherson University’s admission form for me to fill so, I can say I owe it to her. We happen to be members of the Foursquare Gospel Church of Nigeria. We began the admission process and the rest is history.”

“I am humbled about this milestone and I feel motivated to continue to push myself to set goals and strive to achieve them. I am grateful to God and to everyone instrumental to my growth. I can only pray that this marks the beginning of great things even as I seek to become the best version of myself.”

“I have plans, most of which are long term but I will take it one at a time. I will do my NYSC and I intend to further my education, go for masters, take other professional courses such as ACCA, CFA, get a job in a top reputable firm and start making money. I also have a fabrics business, The Fabrics Haven, which I started about a year ago. I will put more efforts into growing and expanding the business, so help me God.”

BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

-
One end time prophecy runs through my mind every time I travel to the airport, or pick up a newspaper and read the latest advance in information technology. "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase" ( Daniel:12:4 ). Anyone who travels often has to marvel at the mass of people traveling to every corner of the world every day of the week. One meets all most the same congestion be it at airport or bus terminals. "Many shall run to and fro." Man's Desire for Knowledge Man seems to have been created with an indiscriminate desire to know, and then given the challenge by God of channeling that desire as one of the character-building opportunities of life. God placed in the midst of the garden of Eden a tree which would impart knowledge-good and evil knowledge. You cannot help but wonder if its placement in the garden was to test man. After al...
