I remember, vividly, that Samuel could hardly pass the DIC entrance examination about when he wrote it. It was so bad that the school management were reluctant at offering him admission but for the intervention of the CEO, Rev. (Mrs) Oyenike Areogun. Within his first year at DIC, he sat for DELF (Diplôme d’études en langue française) examination, an international French examination and came top with 79%. His performance in the WAEC ‘O’ level examination which he sat for when he was in SS2 and which we learnt he had a short time (2 weeks) to prepare for, as well as the Cambridge ‘O’ Level examination which he cleared all at one sitting with good grades (distinctions and credit), have proven us wrong.

Miracle’s prayer life is better than when he first came to the school. Samuel’s performance is better than before and I think this can be traced to the well-structured schedule in the hostel. He does his quiet time without being reminded. He is more matured in thinking and accepting responsibility.

Our father in the Lord set a goal of what he had in mind that in the short run when the leading three schools in Nigeria would be mentioned, Destiny International College would be one and to ensure the same in Africa. In such a short period, it has begun to show. For my son to have scored 323 in UTME and distinctions with stars in Cambridge examination, a year before the due date, are no mean feat.

My son passed the NECO examination which he sat for a year before he was due for it and had credit in all the subjects he registered; for this I encouraged him that he can do better than this. The Cambridge result proved to be better than the NECO result. I was flabbergasted by his outstanding performance in the UTME where he had a score of 287. Presently he has become independently studious and committed to studies with less involvement in time-wasting frivolous things.

Oreoluwa has grown to become a focused, determined and organized young man. DIC has made a tremendous impact on him spiritually, physically, mentally and morally. To the glory of God Almighty, he was the Osun state winner in the NNPC National Quiz Competition in September 2017, as well as 2018. He also qualified and was invited for the Yale Young African Scholars programme (YYAS) Scholars Program which took place in Ghana, August 2018, and it was divine opportunity for him to experience greater achievement and excellence.
