EPISODE 2 - Temi & Attah

XY DIARIES EPISODE 2 | Temi & Attah — Academic Probation, Extra Year & Personal Growth An extra year in university can change you in ways you never expected. But what happens when the experience that makes you feel like you're falling behind ends up helping you grow? In Episode 2 of XY Diaries, Temi and Attah share deeply personal experiences with academic probation, the emotional challenges of spending an extra year in university, and how the experience shaped the people they are today. Temi opens up about a heartbreaking encounter with her former Head of Department, how she tried to avoid people and the pity she feared they would show her, and how her extra year eventually changed her for the better. Attah reflects on experiencing academic probation from 300 level, coming to terms with what had happened, and recognizing how the experience changed him into a better man and human being. Their stories explore the difficult emotions that come with delayed graduation, the pressure of other people's expectations, and the possibility of finding growth in circumstances you never planned for. Sometimes, an extra year isn't just about spending more time in school. It's about confronting yourself, changing your perspective, and becoming someone different.
