Cursory: A social media user named Amb Dr. Ben Bonarparte has succeeded in life after overcoming tribulations in life. He recalled his difficult childhood and how he managed to become a doctor despite his modest background.

A social media user, Amb Dr. Ben Bonarparte, who could not further his education after junior high School, has inspired many with his modest beginning and success story.

The determined man said that as a child he dreamt of being a medical doctor but that dream was thwarted due to financial constraints.

“Like any other young teenager with a basket full of wishes, dreams, and aspirations, I was not different. I’ve always admired the medical doctor profession from afar. For that reason, I struggled early in my primary education level with Mathematics, but my dreams encouraged me to put in more effort, making me excel in Maths,” he recalled.

Bonarparte narrated that he had a difficult childhood due to his modest background. ”I perched with friends and slept in cars and kiosks.”

He recalls gaining enrollment into his first choice of senior high school but had to forfeit because his single mom could not afford to finance his education.

”My world shuttered, crumbled, and I was devastated for months before recovering from that shock.”

Bonaparte was determined to succeed, Despite the challenges that were threatening to break him.

He enrolled in an apprenticeship in a village in Ghana’s Greater Accra Region.

”I did not achieve my initial dream of becoming a medical doctor, but today, by the Grace of God, I am still referred to as a Dr, but this time Honorary Causa.”

”What am I trying to say? Dreams may hit the rocks, and circumstances will present all reasons why they can’t be real; still, believe in God, work hard, pray, and give. With all these listed above and others, you are very close to celebrating,” he said.
