| Esther Okade |
A
wonderful Nigerian ten year old, Esther Okade, has become one of UK’s youngest varsity
students as she was accepted to start her Maths degree at the Open University.
Esther, who enrolled three weeks ago, is already top of her class, scoring 100
per cent in a recent test.
Efe, the
mother of marvellous kid, recalled the process of her daughter’s enrollment to
the university as an interesting one because of her age. She said “We even had
to talk to the VC and after they interviewed her, they realised that this has
been her idea from the beginning.
Esther
has been dreaming of going to university since she was seven. Esther Okade “But
I was afraid it was too soon. She would say, ‘mum, when am I starting?’, and go
on and on and on.
Finally,
after three years, she told me, ‘mum I think it is about time I started
university now.” Esther applied in August, and after a phone interview, an
essay and a maths exam, she finally got the news in December 2014 that she had
been accepted onto the course.
Though
she watches cartoons and plays with barbie dolls, Esther’s aim is to get First
Class honours degree in two years and start a PhD programme. She also hopes to
run her own bank.
