Elation.

My results have been released and without mincing words, it was just a lot lot better than I had expected or even dared to hope for.

What I posted on my Instagram (@tiffanykml):

1111

I AM SO STUNNED. The sign I'm holding has been stuck on my window for a year but felt like a faraway dream and when my results came, especially in this form (90??? Borderline 90A*s, how amazing!), I knew it couldn't have been anything but God. No message could have been clearer that this could not have happened if not for Him so thank you God. If I had scored higher or differently, I might have foolishly thought it was my own doing. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I didn't work for it.. But I could have only done so much and having all four subjects tell me the exact same thing is just proof that when you submit to God and put your faith in Him, He will deliver. And boy, does He deliver. Thank you!

To be honest, I am torn from feeling extremely undeserving, extremely blessed, and very very blown away. Although I’ve always been a decent scorer in school, I never really saw myself as a 4A* kind of girll. Sure, I aimed for it. And I definitely wanted to be one, but I always felt that it was a league above my own that I could maybe just touch. .

You know how there are smart kids in your school who would score excellently and be greeted with “Figures!” or “I’m not surprised” from others.. Well, I never considered myself that kid. I was more of the one that if I scored well, people wouldn’t be in disbelief but it wouldn’t exactly have been ‘expected’ either.

But after my results were released and I posted them up, I was so amazed to have people tell me '”I knew you could do it” and “I’m not surprised”. Even more so when I get told that “You deserve it” and “I’m really happy for you”. From the bottom of my heart, I was so touched that people would have had faith in me to score so well and it is something that just makes me realize how important the support of the people around you can be.

So, I’m posting this because I’m very very grateful and blessed by my results. I hope that the rest of you have heard brilliant news from your respective exam boards and I wish you the best! I was really nervous before getting my results but a healthy dose of Robert Downing Jr. pretty much did the trick.

And well..

LSE, HERE I COME!!!!

  2. Tiffany, My names are Olorode Jesujuwon or JayJay for short, I'm a prospective student of UOP(university of Portsmouth) and hold an unconditional offer to resume my Petroleum engineering course with them in September 2014. I'm of Nigerian Nationality,Africa and I want to know Tiffany what your plans on finances are in terms of tuition fees and living expenses because they too much for my parents to meet. I also had excellent results like you, which I absolutely give God all praise and thanksgiving for it. I would love that you assist me with any vital and useful information and otherwise on finance for my education because I have some certain goals and ambition I would love to accomplish in my career and life in general which I don't want finance to be an obstacle to accomplishing this goals. Very many thanks. Wishing to hear from you soon. Remember the name is "JayJay" and I'm a male for clarity sake!.

    1. Hi there! For expenses in tuition fees, I've been very blessed and am under a scholarship by the Central Bank of my country so they've sponsored my education in the UK. However, there are quite a number of bursaries that individual universities offer for students who come from certain countries. What I actually recommend you do is contact UoP or at least go through their website to see if they offer any financial aid. I know the international fees are ridiculously high and it must be difficult, but I really hope you find success! Alternatively, you could approach the British Council in your country. I'm not sure what they offer, but they could help direct you to scholarships that are more relevant to your country. I'm sorry that's all the advice I can offer you!

  3. Yeah! Tiffany about bursaries, I was given a 10% discount form my tuition for my freshman year which is infinitesimal and scintilla as to what was expected from UoP by me, but God is good girl, the as he created a path and leeway for u for finance I have faith he will do the same for me before the start of my course in September. Very many thanks Tiffany, you have helped relieve me of the psychological trauma of finance for UoP by your testimony. I hope to meet you in the U.K soon, but meanwhile we could still chat and communicate on Instagram.
