“Being a student and playing tennis can be challenging as it requires effective time management to balance academic commitments and rigorous training schedules.
“Juggling assignments, exams, and practice sessions demands discipline and dedication,” Jumai said.
She also noted that: “During my freshman year, I wasn’t on the Dean list and I felt bad because I knew I could do better.
“Ever since then, I locked in so hard because my aim was to get my name on the list of undergraduate students with the highest GPA at Clark Atlanta university.
“I did that by giving it all my best and I am so happy to accomplish that. I eventually found all the challenges rewarding.”
Congratulations to the Nigerian player on this feat! Hopefully, this will inspire some other young tennis players to believe they can also graduate with good grades while playing tennis.
