LOTT OVERCOMES ODDS TO EARN DEGREE

TIFTON— The speaker for Abraham Baldwin College’s fall graduation ceremony on Dec. 18 knows a thing or two about dedication, persistence, and determination in the presence of great obstacles.

Nancy Lott, a nursing major from Rochelle, has overcome many obstacles to get where she is today.

In this context, i think the word "odds" means challenges, difficuilties.

[AintFoolin]

it refers to bettings odds. If you roll a die, the odds that it will be a '2' are 1 in 6. If the odds are against you, people expect you to fail

to overcome odds, you have to, as Reemy said, overcome challenges or difficulties
