At one time, Peter was the leading student in his secondary school. He was on top of his game and wasn’t afraid to show it.
Unfortunately, Peter said he failed his initial WASSCE exam, which made him a laughing stock.
Peter did not allow this failure to define who he was or how successful he would become because he was determined to succeed.
Peter Bawuah rewrote WASSCE, achieved five As
Based on his narration, he went back to school to retake his exams, and this time he achieved amazing results, obtaining five As and becoming one of the top students in his senior high school class. This incredible success later allowed Peter to change his life entirely.
He gained admission into the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) with a full scholarship that covered all four years of tuition, hostel fees, and allowances.
His parents did not pay anything for his education. Someone saw his potential, believed in him, and provided full financial support from level 100 until he graduated.
Peter’s ability to persevere through adversity and maintain a high academic standard led to several scholarships to study in the USA and Canada after completing his studies at KNUST.
Reflecting on his journey, he believes it is essential never to give up on yourself and to have the courage to follow your dreams.
“You may rise with elegance, but when you fall, you need to fall boldly,” said Peter. “The greatest and most beautiful tapestries are created by using the dirt and grime of the struggle, along with strands of gold and silver.”
In addition to the achievements he has made in his career, Peter has made it a goal to help inspire others through his story.
