Good Day, my Hive Family,
Today marks the end of a long-awaited season - one filled with intense study, countless hours of preparation, and the heavy weight of expectations.
Finally, our Second Professional Examinations have come to an end
Omo, it has truly been a journey 😫.
And when I say journey, I mean every single word. The past one month and five days felt like running a marathon mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Each day came with its own demands,waking up early, endless hours of reading, revising, and discussing with colleagues before and after every paper.
This was not just an examination; it was a defining moment in our medical journey, a promotional stage that determines our advancement as students of veterinary medicine.
Our practical examinations were so intense that the department had to buy almost a full cow just to prepare adequately for the assessments. Imagine the level of preparation required! The attention to detail, the precision expected, and the seriousness attached to every stage of the process were overwhelming. Nothing was casual - every question, every oral test, and every practical carried its own weight, testing not only our theoretical knowledge but also how well we could apply it in real-life scenarios.
There were moments I felt completely drained, when both body and mind seemed unwilling to cooperate. But even in those low points, I found strength in God’s grace. Many nights, I wondered how I would face the next day, yet here I am - standing, relieved, and grateful that this phase has finally ended. One of the most uplifting moments during the exams was walking into the hall and realizing that much of what I studied actually came out. That reassurance that my preparation had not been in vain was priceless. Now, as I await my results, I choose to call them Results of Testimony 🙏. I believe strongly that this season of sacrifice, diligence, and perseverance will end not in shame, but in celebration. This journey has not only imparted academic knowledge; it has also built in me resilience, patience, and a deeper trust in God. Truly, it has been God and sacrifices all the way. I must also confess that I have missed my Hive Family dearly. For over a month, I have been away, consumed by the demands of school and exams. But now, I am back, eager to reconnect, to share experiences, and to continue building with you all. Hive has always been my space of expression, inspiration, and community - being away felt like being cut off from family. As I return fully to this space, I do so with a renewed sense of gratitude: for life, for health, for knowledge, and for the journey so far. To my colleagues who concluded this academic session with us congratulations in advance! Promotion surely awaits us.
And how can I forget? Today, our 600-level students emerged as Great Surgeons 🩺. It was truly a remarkable day in our department. Congratulations to all the new doctors who have just crossed this milestone. Indeed, a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, and you’ve taken another giant one. We now eagerly await your induction in less than three months.
To those preparing for their own exams, I pray you find the strength, focus, and resilience to push through successfully. Finally, to my Hive Family, thank you once again for the support, encouragement, comments, and votes you sent my way when I announced I’d be away for exams. The love was massive, and I truly appreciate you all. The best is yet to come, and I look forward to sharing my results of testimony once they are officially released. The pictures used are mine and those of my colleagues.
