π CAMPUS SPOTLIGHT: How a FUOYE Student Broke Her Department's Record with a 4.87 CGPA
Following FUOYE's recent convocation, the story of Success Oluwaseun is making waves. She emerged as the second overall best graduating student, setting a new record in the Department of Criminology and Security Studies with a massive 4.87 CGPA. In an interview with Punch Newspaper, the 24-year-old scholar shared the core strategies that kept her consistently at the top:
- Zero "Panic Reading": Success completely avoided last-minute cramming before exams. She maintained a discipline of reading for at least two hours daily and revising topics immediately after classes.
- The Front-Row Rule: She made it a strict personal rule to never miss lectures, take detailed notes, and always sit in the front row to maintain maximum focus.
- The Power of Association: She intentionally guarded her inner circle. She and her three close friends lived and studied togetherβand three of the four ended up graduating with a First Class!
- Parental "Cash for Grades": Her parents motivated her through a "monetary reinforcement system," rewarding her with cash (like β¦20,000 or β¦50,000) whenever she maintained or hit a perfect GPA.
- Strict Time Management: Despite handling intense responsibilities like serving as FUOYE's "One-Day Vice-Chancellor" and holding church leadership positions, she learned to prioritize, say no when necessary, and set boundaries to protect her health and her grades.
βExcellence is not sustained by intelligence alone, but by grace and absolute trust in God.β β Success Oluwaseun
