Nollywood actress, Biola Adebayo has shared the story of how she hustled hard and once hawked bread to see herself through to the University.
While opening up on the rocky experiences she had before enjoying a smooth ride now, she revealed that she was famous for hawking different things including bread.
Biola further revealed that she lost four admissions due to financial restraint, and also spent seven years in the University.
Taking to social media, she wrote;
This picture reminded me of my humble beginning … I hawked different things on the street but was more popular with bread cos that was the last thing I hawked as a young adult seeking for admission into Uni, it was a tough one, I know a few people can attest to that here.
“I lost 4 different admissions because I couldn’t afford to pay, it took me about 7 years to finally got into Uni but today, I’m not just a graduate but a master’s degree holder. It wasn’t easy but in all, I never stop loving God and hoping, and for truth, God has been very good to me…. I am not there yet but I am definitely not where I used to be.
The reason for my epistle is to encourage someone, please don’t give up on your dreams, no matter what life throws at you, you’re going through those challenges for a purpose, just keep praying, put God first, be diligent, keep working harder, get better at whatever you do on a daily basis and stay focus……your light will soon shine.”
