I’m a self sponsored student or the University of Lagos, English department. Growing up i have always wanted to see beyond my home and see what I’m capable of, I was told i would end up like my mother and it was of no use pursing what isn’t. When the time came to go to school I was beyond shocked of how much I could have put off just by myself and that is how I’m here now. I have been schooling, working, picking up shift here and there to meet ends meet. It’s not been easy, it’s challenging and God is helping hence the reason why I’m nominating myself this opportunity will help me achieve my dreams, relive me of my next session school fees and even if I can’t stop working entirely, it would allow me stop worrying about school fees and focus mainly on my education as I approach my final year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","cohorts":[32],"class_list":["post-20798","nominees","type-nominees","status-publish","hentry","cohorts-cohort-3"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sterling.ng\/decide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nominees\/20798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sterling.ng\/decide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nominees"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sterling.ng\/decide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/nominees"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sterling.ng\/decide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cohorts","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sterling.ng\/decide\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cohorts?post=20798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
