Faithful Ejealor, the current Head Boy of his school, scored 95 in Mathematics, 95 in Physics, 93 in Chemistry, and 71 in English usage.
Born in Ngor-Okpala local government area, Imo State, Faithful’s upbringing was rooted in values of hard work, determination, and faith.
His parents, recognising his potential from an early age, made a phenomenal investment in his future by purchasing him with a comprehensive collection of JAMB past questions spanning from 1978 to 2023.
The boy revealed this in an interview with Vanguard, saying, “My parents bought JAMB past questions from 1978 till 2023 for me, and I was able to use them to practise by solving the questions.”
Armed with these resources, Faithful embarked on a rigorous study routine, spending countless hours solving problems, understanding concepts, and sharpening his reading skills.
However, Faithful’s journey was not solely defined by academic preparation. In January, he embarked on a spiritual journey, fasting for 15 days and praying fervently for success in his upcoming exams.
He asserted that this fusion of faith and action underscored his belief in the power of hard work coupled with divine intervention.
“I fasted for 15 days in January and prayed to God to give me success in my exams this year. And I took action by reading and studying for the exams. I studied really hard,” he affirmed.
Throughout his preparation, Faithful remained focused and disciplined, undeterred by distractions as his dedication was unwavering, fueled by his ambition to study Electrical/Electronics Engineering at Covenant University.
He said though Further Mathematics was his favourite subject, but diligence and maximisation in Mathematics and other Science subjects helped him to get a 354 score.
As Faithful prepares to embark on the next chapter of his academic journey, his story serves as an inspiration to aspiring students everywhere.
His advice to stay focused, determined, and prayerful resonates deeply, reminding others that success is attainable through a combination of hard work, faith, and perseverance.
“My advice for those coming behind me is to stay focused, be determined, study and don’t allow distractions when you are studying. And after that, everything you are doing should be put in the hand of God. We should always be prayerful,” he added.
In the annals of Hallel College’s history, Faithful Ebube Ejealor’s name will forever be etched as a symbol of excellence, a beacon of hope, and a testament to the transformative power of education and faith.
