“Meet Eugene Opoku, a talented student who I accepted at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Brock University in the M.Sc. program a few years ago. I encouraged him to do a Ph.D, (we did not have a PhD. program at Brock) so I suggested he attend U of Victoria, and I became his PhD. Co-Supervisor with Dr. Faruk Nathoo. “
“I flew to Victoria, BC to attend his graduation ceremony. It was a true pleasure to see him walk the convocation stage.
“Eugene was recently appointed by BC Ministry of Health as a Senior Data Analyst and I’m sure his family and friends are most pleased with his success. “

Most of them don’t want you to get to their position, they make it difficult for you to pass their courses. There is no competition in life, be a source of encouragement to humanity because you don’t know where your kids will end up tomorrow. The good seed you sow today in a strangers life might be what will pave way for your children or grandchildren tomorrow.”
