School Education


I finished nursery, primary and high school all in Africa under one school named Hopac international. I still remember how I packed my bags a week earlier before my first day of primary school since I was too excited 😆




For O/levels, we had to pick subjects and since I was certain that I wanted to peruse something in the medical field later on, I made sure to take chemistry, biology, math and physics which additional subjects English, french and business as it was mandatory to take 8 subjects. 


To promote my perception into the medical field I joined a two-week internship at a private hospital during the summer break where I observed medicine from the point of a provider rather than as a patient. I experienced how miscellaneous a doctors' role can be; it's never just about carrying out a surgery or about prescription but also the sympathy and the solicitude that comes along providing an effective care. 

It was entrancing to grasp the field from a more intricate side than just the biology course. I observed a wide range of medical procedures from CT and MRI scans to root canals and how tests are taken in the pathology laboratories. 

I gained a valuable understanding of the workings of surgeries as well, with the chances to perceive and speak to the doctor regarding a medical career and identify the challenges accompanying a career as a doctor such as the proactive balance between work with long hour shifts with family and social life.


Now, here I am in IMU doing the Foundation in Science pre university course with the expectation of being able to do the MBBS degree next year
