Federal Polytechnic Ekowe Graduate Reflects on Journey from Struggle to Success

In a recent Facebook post, Friday Aaron, a student at Federal Polytechnic Ekowe, shared an inspiring story of perseverance and familial support.

Reflecting on the early stages of his academic journey, Aaron described a series of challenges that have shaped his path. "I always remember how it all began, and it's quite amusing to look back on those early days," he said with a smile. During his primary education, he credited divine assistance for helping him through. However, as he transitioned to secondary school, the financial burdens became apparent. "Paying school fees of just 1500 was a significant challenge," he noted.

Despite these obstacles, Aaron's determination did not waver. As he reached SS2, he faced the hurdle of registering for his WAEC exams. He was buoyed by the steadfast support of his mother, whom he affectionately referred to as his "Godly mother." Her encouragement and support played a crucial role in his educational pursuits.

Initially, Aaron had envisioned a different path, dreaming of becoming a full-time preacher. However, his mother’s encouragement led him to pursue formal education, resulting in his enrollment at Federal Polytechnic Ekowe. There, he successfully completed his Ordinary National Diploma (OND) by God's grace.

Aaron's Supportive Mum

Despite his initial reluctance, Aaron acknowledged the importance of pursuing a Higher National Diploma (HND). "I told my mum that the HND could wait, but she insisted otherwise," he recounted. Determined, he sought out the necessary resources and completed his first semester exams. With the second semester now underway, Aaron is nearing the completion of his HND.

Celebrating his progress, Aaron proudly describes himself as a "star" in his family. "I believe that with God, all things are possible," he said. He expressed deep gratitude towards his mother, stating, "Thank you, Mama. I will always love you. You shall eat the fruit of your labor, and I am ever grateful."
