Meet Miss Zainab Bashir, best physics student with a gp of 4.87

A female student from Katsina state, Miss
Zainab Bashir has emerged with a CGPA of 4.87
from the department of Physics of the
Usman Danfodiyo University, Sokoto. According
to reports,  in the school, this is the highest CGPA so far in the
history of that department. This  has
attracted attention to the young lady.

Journalists recently had a chat with the young
lady and she revealed her journey to the
success she has achieved academically.

She made it known that she initially wanted to study
Medicine but was offered Physics instead which
according to her was one of her best subjects
in Secondary school which was why she was
able to make the best of it.

She explained that the advice of her father and
the mindset of never giving up spurred her
morale for chasing such a tremendous feat as
she had, over time, been discouraged by many
people that her mission could never be
achieved.

When asked whether she had ever stumbled due
to wrong grades or gotten discouraged by
failure, she replied that she never experienced
such except for her final year project where she
was given a C in spite of her hard-work and
dedication and all are previous results were
either As or Bs.

She noted that she never engaged in the
popular style of reading among students called
TDB (Till Day Break). She equally admitted that
the fact that she was engaged made her safe
from distraction for the opposite sex as she was
diplomatic in dealing with boys and prioritizing
her studies more than any other thing.

The valedictorian also explained that she didn’t
engage in any extra-curricular activity while she
exploited her leisure time to watch dramas and
chit-chat with friends as all work and no play
makes jack a dull boy.
When asked what her plan after graduation is,
she said that she wishes to get married and
become a teacher/lecturer who will impact
knowledge on young minds. She finally advised
fellow students to focus on their studies and to
set their priorities straight.
