A Mom of Five Graduates with a Master's Degree in Business/Corporate Communication-Be Inspired!

Image
Baiye Ebai Frida is one of ours who's just completed her studies as a mother of five. She is an example of a knowledgeable African woman who would not allow the sounds of gunshots, the sights of dead bodies and the look of fierce armed men/women derail her from the pursuit of knowledge. She's multi-tasked as a mother of five, managed a shop, coordinate a non-governmental organisation, run and manned the services of a shop, an activist for peace and much more. She now has a Masters in Business/Corporate Communications. Hopefully, the top companies in the country will seek her hand for a top managerial place. If you are not inspired to over-perform, to make out the best version of yourself, I do not know what else will inspire you. Best of luck me sis!

Tips from a pro on how to get those perfect scores Louisiana teen gets perfect ACT score Darius Washington, 16, earned a perfect 36 on the ACT. Photo Credit: Bonnie Bolden/The News-Star  MONROE, La. — Darius Washington, 16, did not expect to have perfect scores after taking the ACT test. When he checked his results around midnight Monday, the Neville High School student learned that he earned 36 on the ACT, which is a rare perfect score. TIPS He advises other students not to stress too much over the exam because that will burn them out before they take the test. "Manage your time wisely because if you run out of time that directly affects your score. If you don't get to questions, then you can't answer them," he said. In my perspective, passing the tests require a high degree of time managemen

When You Think You've Seen it All. North Carolina Student Who Began College At 12 Receives Ph.D. At 23

Here;'s a little news to inspire. A 23-year-old Julia Nepper has already completed her Ph.D. from Wisconsin University. Her mother Nadine Nepper says, “She is a gifted child”. She started attending community college in Wilmington, NC at the age of 12.  She is homeschooled from the past 4 years because her parents think, she is not being challenged enough in her traditional classroom. Dr. Julia Nepper recently obtained a Ph.D. in Biophysics at just 23 years old and revealed that it was just a journey to teach and learn. My hats off this young lady! PhD holders know it is an arduous task. Her parents deserve some credit, they've raised one head of a brain.
