She admitted that it was a tough journey and she faced a lot of challenges along the way, but she never gave up on her dreams and eventually finished as one of the top students in her department.

Joy also shared some of the top secrets behind her academic excellence.

She said:

“When in class, try to spot the unique speech patterns of your lecturers. Everybody has one, you simply have to pay attention. In essay tests/exams try to ‘copy’ the lecturer’s speech pattern in your writing. That way, when they read your answers, it seems like something they would have come up with.”

Her story is a testament to the power of hard work, passion, and perseverance.
