Through this, I came to realize that Mathematics has numerous applications in Economics, which sparked my interest in the subject.<\/p>\n<p>I made the difficult decision to drop out of my program at River State University (formerly Rivers State University of Science and Technology) due to financial difficulties and poor academic performance, which was a painful experience for me. Unfortunately, my decision disappointed my parents and siblings, and I faced ridicule from both relatives and friends.<\/p>\n<p>Despite my decision to drop out of the program in 2001, I remained committed to my studies. In 2004, I obtained a distinction in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering diploma. I also taught and motivated numerous students to excel.
