Aisha said she had always had passion for a legal career and wanted to study law at the university but came in contact with Sociology during her IJMB (Interim Joint Matriculation Board Examination) program. She added it was after then she developed an interest in the course.
She said though Sociology is a very broad course and has its own difficult angles, she never saw herself graduating with a grade less than first-class honors because she put a lot of effort into it.
”I do not know how I would feel. I had never for once thought about this. I was so sure I would graduate with the grade I graduated with. I believe I earned it because I worked hard for it and had good mentoring,” she said.
