GEM OF THE WEEK

Our GEM for the week is Kechi Okwuchi.

Kechi is one of the two survivors of the Sosoliso plane crash that happened on December 10th, 2005 which claimed the life of 60 of her classmates. It has been a physically painful and emotionally draining experience for her but she held on and excelled through it all.

Kechi Okwuchi graduated with a First Class from the University of St Thomas Houston Texas (May 16th 2015) and was also inducted into 6 academic honor societies. She was also the most Outstanding student for her major in Economics.

Her life inspires us to look forward to tomorrow amidst the turbulence on our way. Her constant visit to the hospital for series of processions under blades of surgeons didn't limit her academic pursuit for excellence. So what's your excuse?.

When life throws lemons at you, just make lemonade.
