A Nigerian student Oluwatuyi Olowoyeye has bagged a master’s degree from the University of Debrecen in Hungary with a perfect GPA of 5.0.
Mr Olowoyeye announced this on his LinkedIn profile.
Journaling how he began, he wrote, “As an undergraduate, I was just busy chasing after academics. In the end, I didn’t even finish with the first class.”
According to him, he was just focused on academics and not on other personal development skills but that changed as he moved to further his education.
Olowoyeye said, “Fast forward to my master’s program, both the one I just finished here and the one I didn’t complete back at home before I landed a fully-funded scholarship to study here in Hungary. I can say I didn’t waste any opportunity that crossed my path, I was also intentional about acquiring skills.
“I graduated from the prestigious University of Debrecen with a perfect GPA of 5.0, capped with special honors.
“This time around, I’d many more things I took up as a challenge, accepted volunteering roles, embraced the opportunities to skill-up anywhere at any time, dared two major competitions and my team was a finalist in one of them, I offered to help people for free (this one didn’t leave me the same), above all, I took destiny very seriously.”
The Nigerian is set to continue his study at Iowa State University, United States.
