Breaking Barriers: The Inspiring Story of Sylvester Sapathy, KNUST First-Class Graduate

Sylvester Sapathy, a KNUST alumnus with a first-class grade, has opened up about his path to graduation. The former KASEC student claimed that during school breaks, he frequently had to fly to Accra to work odd jobs to help pay his tuition. The bright young man intends to continue his schooling with the goal of one day joining the military or becoming a lecturer.

A bright young guy has shared his story of overcoming obstacles and pursuing academic achievement despite them. In an interview with YEN.com.gh, Sylvester Sapathy, a member of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology’s Class of 2022, said his desire to one day graduate from college did not come easily because he had to deal with the finance issue.

The former Kadjebi-Asato Secondary School (KASEC) pupil remembered how he frequently traveled to Accra to work odd jobs to assist pay for his tuition.

“After SHS I became a security man at the Tema Port during the time the expansion works were ongoing. It was because of that job that I was able to get money to buy my university forms and also support my expenses at school when I first started”

He continued:

“during my time in school, I never had the opportunity of doing an internship because I always used that time to travel to Accra to engage in construction work so I can support my elder brother to pay my fees”

After four years of diligent work, Sylvester received a first-class economics degree from the university and is now serving his country by enlisting in the Ghanaian Armed Forces. The young man responded that he hopes to join the army but would still want to seek higher education when asked about his future intentions.

“I would want to join the military, but I would like to do my masters because I would also like to become a lecturer if my dream of entering the military doesn’t materialize,” he said.

Sylvester is hoping that benevolent groups, individuals, or organizations would come to his aid and support him financially to realize his dream of furthering his education.

“I am ever ready to do my masters and I am pleading with benevolent groups to come to my aid,” he said.
