The Eleven Twelve Experience

After graduating top of his class from a high school in Ajegunle, Lagos, Francis had one burning desire: to climb at least one more step up the academic ladder. He simply couldn’t heed the advice to hold on and go into an apprenticeship in a patent medicine store. Yet, the one opportunity that kept him hopeful of his prospects of entering the university vanished when it was time to use it.

How did Francis move into the prestigious University of Nigeria, Nsukka? How did he deal with the emotional and financial challenges that made him doubt his academic potential? How did he cope without a mother’s presence and knowing that he had a sick father at home? How did this lad swim the waters for five years to eventually finish as the Best Graduating Student of his class as well as serve two tenures as president of thousands of Catholic students on campus?
