Completing my law degree was one of the biggest challenges I’ve ever faced. When Covid hit, everything changed—we went from being in the classroom to being online students almost overnight. That transition was especially hard for me, as a mother, trying to juggle the demands of studying and raising children. Attending classes in person gave me a sense of focus and normalcy, a chance to really be myself. But suddenly, that stability was gone, and I had to adapt to new pressures and responsibilities in a completely different environment.
After Covid, my mental health took a serious hit. I ended up needing to take a year off from my studies to try to rebuild myself, and during that time, I went through a difficult breakup. That experience threw me off course again and made it hard to find the focus I needed. But through it all, the University of Law never gave up on me. They were incredibly supportive, providing me with endless chances and a support system that helped me keep going.
I couldn’t have made it without the support of my loved ones. My mum, my mother-in-law, my children, my best friend, and especially my partner Jonathan—each of them was there to lift me up in ways that kept me moving forward. Knowing they believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself, has been one of the greatest blessings.
Above all, I thank Jehovah God for giving me the strength to continue. His promise that he won’t put me through more than I can handle was a source of comfort when I felt like giving up. I fell down more than once, but with his strength, I was able to stand up again and keep going. I am finally a graduate. Thank you. 🙏🏽 u_law #ulaw #ulawgrad #BringOnMasters
