How does it feel being the Babcock’s overall best graduating student?
I thank God, it feels good.
What would you say is the secret of your success?

Was there a time that you felt you couldn’t make it, what really happened?

But I thank God for His word because it says that “We should trust in Him with all our heart and we should see Him in all our ways, He will guide us. So, God’s guidance for me was a serious support.
What kept you going?
Vision.
How were you able to cope with Babcock tough rules and regulations?
All you have to do is tell yourself, it’s only for a short while, enjoy the best you can and endure what you feel you don’t like.

The next thing after Babcock is to go for my masters and have more knowledge, impact my society by having an NGO, even to the last project I intend to pursue.
