To: Admissions Office,

University of Lagos

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Ebere Okoro. I am 18 years old and from Umuezeala, Imo State. I wish to apply for admission into the Faculty of Education to study Civic and English Education.

Despite being premature at birth and struggling through primary school, I grew into a dedicated student. I recently passed my WAEC with 4 credits and 1 D7, and I scored 232 in my JAMB. I am passionate about teaching and want to help students like me.

I look forward to joining your prestigious institution.

Yours sincerely,

Ebere Okoro

Thank you for considering my application.

Yours sincerely,

They get Room 12 — together!

Ebere: “Yessss!”

Toluwani: “Hi. I’m Tolu. Welcome jare.”

Ebere: “Hi Tolu, you just one year older than me.”

Ebere: “Okay. You dey observe o.”
