According to her, her decision to enrol at the University of Ghana was heavily influenced by her mother, who strongly believed in the prestige and opportunities associated with the institution.
She recounted that she had initially expressed interest in attending a different university but was persuaded otherwise.
She further explained that her mother made significant efforts to convince her, using her influence and connections to ensure she gained admission and was well-positioned for success.
"I really remember when I told her I wanted a different school other than Legon and she did everything to convince me. I had ears so I listened and here I am today. She used every power, connection, and authority she had to place me in high places. This graduation is yours as much as it is mine"
The graduate further stated that her achievement was as much her mother’s as it was hers, acknowledging the sacrifices and strategic support that contributed to her academic journey.
