Dr Zobo X @LSHTM X @CheveningFCDO. Day 1! 🥰 Day one of studying in UK’s number 1 school for Public Health! A leader once said, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but rather the lighting of a fire”. Well, this girl is on fire for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights!

“The magic you’re looking for, is in the work you’re avoiding.” This was my eureka moment. I revisited my essays, saw my flaws, and made the decision to do away with half-baked applications. I ditched impostor syndrome, and that year changed everything. #chosenforchevening

This is your reminder not to quit on your dreams. 2024 started cloudy for me, I had good reasons to throw in the towel. However, I treated Failure as feedback, and not the end. Remind yourself how undeniably important and worth pursuing your dreams are. And hey, try again! ♥️

It took a village to get me here. A support system that held me up when my strength failed. People who spoke faith into me when I dared to measure my worth by a few rejections. My family, friends, mentors, teachers… thank you. To @UKinNigeria, thank you for the opportunity.

All that smoke, wasn’t fire, Chi. It was God cooking. 1. There’s a bun in your oven 🤫 2. In 5 months, you’ll get an email. Not “Regrets …”, like previous years. This time it will read: “Dear Chioma, congratulations. You have been #ChosenforChevening.” And it gets better…
Got my first rejection email of 2024! Grateful for the experience and the lessons. Am I sad? Yes. I was rooting for myself. Will I apply again? Haq Haq Haq. Of coursely course! First, let me Netflix my pains away. Then we go again. I’ll still be back here with my wins 🙏🏾.

So sad that we now live in a world where excellent writers are expected to dummy down their prowess, just to evade AI detectors. Tell me about removing em dashes, avoiding three word descriptions, negations and the like. Where and when does it end? Asking cos, before AI, I was!

I’ve concluded that babies do this intentionally. Baby takes first steps, I sight it… attempt to take a video. She sits down. I call everyone to witness. “Hey Mama. Come…” She airs me. They leave the room. She stands up, walks and giggles! I don explain tire. No evidence!🤦🏾♀️
