Read his post below:
A decade ago, I wrote a story for The Finder newspaper about Kwadwo Njorfuni and the collapsed school building. When I got to the office the following morning, the cleaner was the first to give me feedback.
“I had to finish reading everything before starting my work this morning,” he said.
I was intrigued to get feedback from someone I least expected to read the story. I left the newspaper shortly afterward. I did not take the time to ask further questions and know much about the cleaner, but that cleaner later became a reporter for that newspaper.
He later went to journalism school and graduated as the best student from the Ghana Institute of Journalism.
Yesterday, he graduated with a master’s degree in Media and Development from the University of Westminster, one of the UK’s top five universities for media and communications studies.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you John Elliot Hagan, the determined young man who did not allow the shackles of poverty to cripple his dreams.
The world is yet to experience your exploits.
