A Nigerian, Oluwatuyi Olowoyeye, has graduated from the University of Debrecen in Hungary with a perfect GPA of 5.0 in his just-concluded Master’s degree programme.
Olowoyeye shared the good news on his LinkedIn profile as he detailed his journey from his first degree to his future education plan.
“As an undergraduate, I was just busy chasing after academics. In the end, I didn’t even finish with the first class,” he wrote.
He regretted not focusing on other personal development skills. He said that changed as he moved to further his education.
“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 honours.
“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,” he wrote.
Olowoyeye is apparently not done with academics, as he announced his intention to delve into another level of academic endeavour at Iowa State University.
