It could be so devastating and annoying to make a very good and encouraging O'level result and then a little mistake in a particular subject will then lead to be worried of being accepted or not in the university.





I am an Art student though now in the field of social sciences and humanities, but the spirit of Art will never die off. It has remained part of me after several years.





I know what i went through during my art days.
I would read different books and then had the feeling of being ready for the exam which we all know ,WAEC , but after everything, I still found myself struggling.





My first waec, I had E8 of which literature was my best subject. I said to myself "I have never scored below 80 marks in my school as far as literature is concerned. I began to ask myself how come?





I went ahead and purchased a GCE form. I read and wrote the exam with confidence. I was so sure of the exam, because I knew what it mean to me. I understood clearly why I needed to pass the examination.





At a point, I began to doubt my maths ,because I know I wasn't that good with maths.
After few weeks of waiting, I checked my GCE result and found out I failed the course again. I was so perplexed and angry.





I picked up my phone and started making researches on the net.





I searched what course can I study without literature?





What course can I study with D7 in Literature in English?





Can I study English education without literature?





Can I study public administration without literature in my waec?





I have D8, can I study sociology?
