He failed the test despite the days and weeks of efforts he put into earning remarkable scores. However, this has not dampened his spirit nor changed his pursuit of a career as a lawyer.

Carruthers recently sat for an interview with Ghanaweb and recounted how he lost his eye sight at the tender age of 11 years.

The determined Ghanaian man, who sees hope at the end of his tunnel, also shed light on his journey so far as he takes steps to achieve his dreams.

Carruthers noted that God has blessed him with a lot of abilities, including the ability to see, hear, and walk.

He said:

''The fact that you have lost one or two abilities does not make you a disabled person. Always say to yourself ‘I can make it’'."

However, she did not earn this feat on a silver platter.

She had to work hard, but with her self-worth and belief she imprinted her name in the sands of history. The Eritrean native shattered barriers of race, gender, and disability to become the first deaf-blind graduate of one of the most selective and prestigious law schools in the world.
