Wow, this brings back some memories… SMH.

My IT was a blast—I did mine in a directorate on campus, so it felt like being both a worker and a student. Those six months were the best part of my university experience, I worked on an important project that our school got through a grant from MacArthur Foundation, with it, I got a glowing reference letter from the office of the VC. I was so happy and so proud! By the end of it, my logbook was full and impressive, my report was excellent, and I knew my defence was already solid—public speaking has always been my forte. I was gearing up for a sure A.

Then, two days before submission, a close friend and coursemate borrowed my logbook and report. I was reluctant, but he was my best pal in the entire department, so I handed them over. What did I hear the next morning? He climbed up to my room—his was directly below mine—to ask if I had come to collect my logbook the previous night. No. That’s when he told me his room had been broken into, and everything was stolen—his laptop, our reports, his logbook, my logbook.

I was livid. There was a nuclear explosion in my head—I could feel my brain melting into a boiling goo. Six. Freaking. Credit. Units!

We reported it to the security office, the exams officer, we spoke to every lecturer we had a relationship with in the department. My friend spoke to his uncle, a HOD from a neighboring department, to plead on our behalf, but by the time anything could be resolved, it was too late to defend with our mates. What had been a confident A had turned into a looming F overnight. I was devastated. That result was supposed to solidify my 2.1—losing it because of someone else’s carelessness was unbearable.

We missed the defense, along with the 40 marks that came with it. I had to buy a new logbook and rewrite everything from memory, filling it mostly with manufactured content. By the time we got new logbooks, everyone else had already submitted theirs. I couldn’t even submit mine in time to get the SIWES ₦15k.

In the end, I got a D—which felt like the end of the world and a miracle simultaneously, considering everything I went through and the Frankenstein-esque nature of my logbook. But I was depressed for the first time in my life. That one event affected the rest of my university experience—I lost my weak 2.1, lost focus, started drifting through school, and let my demons grow stronger by not fighting them as hard as I used to.

What’s the point of this long epistle? Don’t lose focus. Don’t lose guard, my brother. Fight.

You have a beautiful result—I know you’re not lazy or dumb—so find a way to have that D reviewed. 9 CU no be beans. That’s too heavy to ignore; fight tooth and nail for it, because it can make or break your final results. CGPA is cumulative—subjected to the law of gravity, it's hard to push up but easy to fall.

Regardless of what happens, don’t lose faith. Don’t lose focus. Fight. Fight harder.

You’re in university now, but you won’t be there forever—make it count in the best possible way.

I pray for strength, wisdom, and perseverance as you navigate this and the rest of your university journey.

Damn!!! So sorry bro.I don’t think anything can be done for this case but the mistakes can be corrected for future purposes.Just take heart and work hard in your final year.Also work on my confidence.You can practice by speaking to yourself or with a friend or group of friends about what you are going to present on.If you do this,it will definitely help you like it helps me.Always pray and ask God for the spirit of boldness especially when your turn to defend is around the corner.Depend wholeheartedly on God not yourself.Lastly practice deep breathing between you are about to do any defense(Inhale for some seconds and exhale for same seconds repeatedly).I don’t know your school or what you are studying but in my school after siwes defense in my 400l.You have to prepare for 3more defense so bro,buckle up!!!! I wish you the best.

A D in 9 unit course will draw my Cgpa for me to ignore I will still try to get it reviewed

Hi Bro,

I do believe that something can be still be done. As soon as you can, please "courteously" reach out to your departmental SIWES coordinator, and ask for every help that can be rendered.

Wishing you Godspeed in your final year.
