“MY ADVICE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE A BEST GRADUATING STUDENT (BGS)” Based off numerous questions and direct messages I’ve been receiving. I had this interview with a very nice lady and she asked me this and just like that, one thought led to another… but I was able to collect it all together. The beginning of your end is believing you can do it alone. You must hold onto God and trust him. He will finish everything he started. Reading is not enough for excellence. There should be more emphasis placed on “how to read” than “number of times you read.” You need to understand the systems around you and adapt. You must grow with the process or your peers will grow and leave you behind. Evaluate and see if you’re proud of what you’re becoming. If you’re not, turn back and pick up. It’s never too late. Never ever take your 100 level for granted. It’s the most important level ever. The foundation of a house is enough to tell whether it will stand or sink. At 100 level, many are ignorant. If you’re wise then, you’ll work while they sleep and when they wake, they can’t meet up. You cannot be lazy and no one is. Build yourself to work. To read. To learn. And enjoy every bit of it. Do what works for you. If you prefer reading during the day, read during the day. If not, night then. It’s about you, not the trend. You don’t have to jump with everyone to night class or tutorials. Sometimes, the greatest things are learned alone, within your locked space. Be so subtle, so unexpected, so unpredictable… Be weird. No one should tell what you’re about to do next. Of all, be equally capable of being the erudite scholar and playing the clueless dimwit. Both sides of you will be equally needed wherever you go… 6/7
