FROM A DULL STUDENT TO AN AWARD WINNING GRADUATE OF 5 IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS (READ HIS STORY)

An Instagram user Effoduh has shared his life story in a bid to encourage parents to be patient with their presumed dull children.

He was seen as a dull student in secondary school, today a a bright graduate of 5 Ivy League Schools.

Read his story as narrated by him below 

 Dear parent, this was me at 12 years old. I failed 9 out of 15 subjects (including Maths and English) from a public school. 

This result from 18 years ago didn’t define me then; and it obviously didn’t determine how I turned out. 

School isn’t a competition, it is a place for learning, play and growth. There’s more to life than an estimation of one’s academic performance. If you ask me: your child’s result should be taken as a receipt that you paid school fees, finish. 

I am 30 years old now and  I have bagged 5 university degrees in law from several Ivy League schools. This as well, should never matter! Life is not by the “where” and “what” you’ve done for yourself but by who you are and how it affects others.
