A Nigerian girl who owned Indians' hearts

Emelie Chinelo Stella is from Anambra State, Nigeria. She was a diligent student in Nigeria. After her graduation, she tried to get admission to Indian universities. Seeing her excellent performance, a prestigious university in India, the University of Mysore gave her admission with a good scholarship.
Stella studied M.Sc (chemistry) with meritorious Indian students in the university. She performed her same diligence in India. A few months ago, she finished her exams. The results were declared. She is the topper of the university, this year 2019.
She went to Nigeria happily. She was waiting for the date of convocation, in which she would get her certificate. Unexpectedly she got a piece of news by an Email. She won 20 gold medals and 5 cash prizes from the Indian university.
She came back to India a week ago to attend the convocation at the University of Mysore. The last Sunday ( 17th, March 2019), She sparkled like a star in the university. She became the center of attraction there. She was given 25 prestigious awards ( 20 gold medals and 5 cash prizes). In India, she is the first foreigner who received such a big number of awards at a time. She owned them by competing with Indians.
On 18th, March 2019, all Indian newspapers and online newspapers praised Stella by publishing her success story along with her photos. Indians felt happy with the achievement of this wonderful Nigerian girl.
Stella said to the newspapers "My success was the result of hard work and perseverance. I devoted most of my time to studies. I was either in the classroom or in the library. My country is suffering from poverty, epidemics, and mounds of industrial waste. My life’s goal is to find a solution to all ills through chemistry."
Now Stella is going to pursue PhD ( Doctor of Philosophy ) in the same university in India.
No matter where you are from, you always have opportunities to win, if you have a strong desire.
