Success is not a myth.
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">There is a common misconception that many university students hold:</span></p><p>"You can resume as a fresher with dreams of graduating with a first class, but once you see your first CGPA, all you can do is pray to graduate."</p><p><br/></p><p>Over the years, this mindset has been passed down from one set of students to the next, becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. As a result, many students no longer set academic goals. Some believe that no matter how hard they study, they simply won't succeed. Others wait until the end of the semester to start cramming an entire semester’s work in a matter of days—an unsustainable and ineffective approach to learning.</p><p><br/></p><p>This defeatist mentality has discouraged many bright students who entered the university with high hopes and strong ambitions.</p><p><br/></p><p>But amidst this cloud of pessimism, there are students who refuse to conform. They see the lie for what it is and believe, rightfully, that with the right study habits, discipline, and the help of God, graduating with a first class degree is absolutely attainable.</p><p><br/></p><p>These students come into the university with clear goals. From the start of the semester, they draw up effective timetables and commit to consistent study routines. They attend classes regularly, actively participate in discussions, and submit their assignments early. They work hard to secure high continuous assessment (CA) scores, knowing how much it contributes to their final grade.</p><p><br/></p><p>By the time exams arrive, they are not overwhelmed—they are prepared. Revision becomes manageable, not stressful. With focus, confidence, and prayer, they approach their exams not with fear, but with assurance.</p><p><br/></p><p>These students are living proof that as a fresher, aiming for a first class degree is not just a fantasy—it is entirely possible.</p><p><br/></p><p>So let go of the myths. Don’t let the discouragement of others define your academic journey. Set goals. Stay disciplined. Seek help when needed. Trust God. Put in the work. And believe that excellence is within your reach.</p>
