What happened after NCE?
After completing her certificate, Olusola said her mother was overwhelmed by numerous responsibilities, forcing her to halt her educational journey.
Family obligations took priority, including paying school fees, rent, and meeting other household needs.
“After her NCE, life happened. Responsibilities happened. Children, bills, sacrifices, and all the quiet ways mothers give up pieces of themselves so their families can stand.
But somehow, she still found a way to return to the classroom, to sit among people far younger than her, to study, to push, to pray, and to persist,” Olusola noted.

“I know the nights she stayed awake. I know the days she almost gave up. I know the strength it took to begin again. My sisters and I are so proud of her in a way words cannot fully express.This degree belongs to her, but it also belongs to every woman who once paused her dreams for her family.
