FROM “ALMOST GAVE UP” TO “I MADE IT.”
My name is Oluwaseun Feyishara Aramide Alarima.
A girl whose one and only dream was to become a graduate — not just any graduate, but an ACCOUNTANT.
From 2015 to 2020, I wrote JAMB again and again. I passed Above 200 every single time yet admission never came. That season taught me a hard truth: God’s timing is very different from ours.
After COVID 19, I enrolled for JUPEB, believing that my determination would attract support.
But when it was time to pay my tuition, I stood alone. No help. No backup. Just me and my God.
So I worked.Weekend jobs (ushering, brand activations, event coordination )Friday to Sunday, Lectures Monday to Thursday and I also founded FLEEK_NG alongside
I was constantly tired, drained, and scared.
Giving up crossed my mind many times… but my determination was louder.And yes I paid that school fee myself (no be small money oo 😂).
One week before my JUPEB exams, life tested me again.
A kitchen accident turned into a second-degree burn. While others were reading, I was in and out of the hospital, praying my leg wouldn’t be amputated. I cried. I questioned God. I almost quit but going back home was not an option.
Then the results came Fear everywhere, But when I checked… I PASSED.
Against all odds, I became a student of the Prestigious University of Lagos, studying Accounting one of the most competitive courses in the Faculty of Management Sciences.
The same me who struggled through JUPEB scored 12 POINTS just enough for my dream.
You’d think that was the end of the struggle…
Then ASUU strike happened 9 long months.
So I worked again.
Built my businesses.
Saved.
Stayed focused.
And today, I stand proud.
🎓 B.Sc. Accounting
📍 University of Lagos
🏅 Second Class Honours (Upper Division)
First child First daughter. Once written off.
Now fulfilled.
I am no longer ashamed of my story it shaped me. I am living proof that God never forgets His own.
This is my journey.
This is my truth.
And forever — GOD IS GOOD ❤️✨
