Man Who Worked Extremely Hard to Fund His Studies Celebrates As He Graduates As Best Student

A young man identified as Frank Obeng Addae has been celebrated for graduating as the best student despite facing numerous challenges during his studies.

The young man who worked for one year just to fund his university studies was the valedictorian for the College of Basic and Applied Science at the University of Ghana.

In an interview with Edwardasare.com, Frank revealed that he comes from a family of nine who had to depend on less than GHc500 (N30k, $50), which made his dreams of pursuing further education very challenging.

Upon finishing senior high school in 2017, Frank desired to pursue Medicine and was able to apply for admission at KNUST, UHAS, and UG, Legon.

However, due to financial limitations in some cases, he missed out on the opportunity of getting enrolled.

“Despite all the challenges, God has made it possible for me to successfully graduate with first-class honors and as the Valedictorian for the College of Basic and Applied Sciences at the University of Ghana.

“In addition to this are other great achievements I chalked at UG. I won several academic and social awards; I served in several leadership portfolios; I participated in several leadership seminars; I took several online courses; also I participated and presented at several international and local research conferences,” Frank revealed.
