Miriam’s Triumph: From SSCE to UNN Against All Odds

Miriam worked tirelessly in her final year of secondary school. She spent long days and late nights preparing for the SSCE and JAMB exams. When the results came out, she celebrated both successes and secured her place at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Arriving at UNN felt like stepping into a new world. Miriam attended her first lectures and met new classmates. Despite her excitement, she soon faced the realities of university life—school fees, handouts, feeding and transport costs.

Those moments of struggle only strengthened Miriam’s resolve. Determined to honor her family’s sacrifices, Miriam vowed that she would succeed and one day make them proud. Her journey was just beginning.
