A Nigerian female undergraduate who was homeschooled shared the story of her journey to attaining a first class and academic excellence.
Deborah Oludimu reported that she was homeschooled throughout the duration of her secondary school education.
Initially, her parents were the ones teaching her at home but after sometime she began to teach herself because they were science inclined and she was leaning towards arts.
When she got to senior secondary school, she took a big leap by going to register for WAEC and she passed all the courses in one sitting. At this time, she was 14 years old.
She also wrote the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exam which is a Nigerian entrance examination board for tertiary-level institutions, and she had a score of 290, qualifying her to get admitted into the university.
Once a genius, always a genius
Deborah, who is now a student of the University of Ibadan is on her way to bagging a first class degree, having a CGPA of 3.83/4.
The genius revealed that she still studies on her own and the only reason she goes for classes is because she has to sign the attendance.
