Destiny Ogedegbe, a young man, has taken to social media to celebrate receiving scholarships at Harvard University and Oxford University. Destiny became a recipient of two prestigious scholarships from which he settled for Harvard.

In a series of tweets, he revealed that the two prestigious institutions happened to be the only two schools he ever put in for graduate studies.

“These are the only two schools I have ever applied to for graduate studies and I got into both. They both did the right thing, I suspect, because this story is already written in the stars — this is merely the mortal manifestation of God’s ideal. I have no other explanation,” he wrote.

Destiny also shared the reaction of his humble parents’ to this feat. Destiny said it was a case of having mixed feelings. He said they were excited and also pleasantly confused and this is due to their humble background.

“My parents are excited, but also pleasantly confused. This is beyond them. Because from where we come, folks don’t wake up and dream of Harvard or Oxford.
Now, my mum describes me in our dialect as “the child who was born with gold in his hands”. Everyone is happy about it.”, he tweeted.
