Netizens reactions:
Frank Obeng Addae, a social media user, shared a personal experience, saying:
“I remember in JHS 1, during one of our end-of-term exams, I was prevented from writing two papers (English language and Social studies), because my dad had not paid my extra classes fees. “Even in senior high school, they still sacked me from class for not making full payment of my school fees. I remember how some colleagues and I used to hide in the restroom until the staff member in charge of the fees had left the class. The gracious God has been so good.Maame De-Heer “Onyame ay3 y3n yie”.
Maame De-Heer replied: “Keep soaring! Frank Obeng Addae.”
Kylie Stover posted: “Your beginning doesn’t define your end” wow. Those are some powerful words that I LOVE! When I was little, probably in 1st grade, my mom fought for me to have proper education while the school system I was in told her that I would never pass high school because of my dyslexia. Well, in August, I just finished completing my master’s in biology, so, I also stand for those powerful words, and I understand how you feel. Congrats to you, and thank you for sharing.”
