Oyin also said that while attending the school, she experienced imposter syndrome, which is the belief that one’s accomplishment is not earned or that it was the consequence of one’s own abilities or efforts.
Luckily for her, she was able to trounce over mental and physical challenges and completed distinction.
She wrote; “3 years ago I missed my grades to get into Cambridge. Today I graduate from Cambridge with a First Class degree in Law.
“Having felt imposter syndrome regularly throughout the degree to placing within the top 15% of my cohort, I have achieved what my 16 year old self could only dream of and am extremely proud of my achievement.
I could not have completed this degree without the encouragement and support of my friends, family and pastoral support at my college. I remain eternally grateful. I now look forward to starting Thursday and Friday with CMS Academy tomorrow.”
