''Golden Age School, SOS Hermann Gmeiner Int. School, WEY GEY HEY 2007, Natsu, KNUST 2012, University of Reading 2014, UPSA Law School 2020, Ghana Law School 2023. Introducing your new lawyer, SELORM AKU DADZAWA ESQ," the post read.
YEN.com.gh reached out to Selorm Aku Dadzawa about her journey and overcoming challenges.
''It started as a joke with my mum, who said she wanted me and my sister to study law. She indicated she would fund the Bachelor of Laws (LLB). At the time, we were considering it. The interest developed over time. First, because I thought the law would help my Human Resource career. I also wanted a career that I could practice post-retirement. It was also about securing my future and joining the noble profession'' Selorm tells YEN.com.gh.
Balancing law studies and school
She admitted that juggling school and work with raising her two females was tough.
''It was hard. It was one of the most challenging things I've had to do because I'm a mum and a musician/worker. It was a difficult journey. The burden of finance also became a challenge because my mum thought we could handle it. She had played her part, and I had to do it independently from the second year,'' she said.
After overcoming impediments, which included finances, Selorm has become an inspiration to many.
''Start if you have anything to do. Start if you genuinely want to do it. Always build and expand your network; you can only do so with the help of others. Be deliberate about building good friendships because it will benefit you. Know that you can be anything you desire to be at any time. I am living proof,'' she told YEN.com.gh.
