4.49 To 5.0

When you hear the grades 5.0 and 4.49—the perfection of a 5.0 or the almostness of a 4.49—two things come to mind: “Wow” and “How.”

“Wow! Could someone really get a perfect score in every exam through school?”
“How! Could someone be so close to a first class?”

Deborah and Peter began their journey in 100 Level, chasing front seats with no fashion sense, only a determination to get the best out of school. They went through the same classes at the same university but made different choices, had different experiences, and ultimately different results. On the day of their Convocation, both Deborah and Peter had the privileged handshake with the Bishop for two different reasons. They were the most sought-after students on the day of convocation, for two different reasons.

Today, though both are patent holders, their academic results continue to stir curiosity and amazement in the minds of those who hear their stories. Five years down the line, on a path filled with success, regrets, tears, laughter, and joy, Deborah and Peter give a detailed account of how they graduated with the two unforgettable CGPAs.
