Sharing more about his journey, the young man stated that his life in school was not all about academics and that he was a part of the school's sports team, the debate team.

"Aside academic excellence, I actively participated in intramural sports as a footballer, debate where I made three tournament finals and gained a spot on the university’s contingent for the 2021 Ghana Universities Debate Championship(GUDC) and I busily volunteered as a STEM advocate with NSBE Ghana"

In an interview with YEN.com.gh, Jeffrey spoke more about the essence of living a balanced life as a student;

"Many a times, students or even parents think that being all up in your books is the way forward to achieving academic excellence but is not the case.

For me, I knew that taking time off to focus on other things such as football gave my brain the chance to rest from 'books' and rejuvenated it for my next round of studies. Being a part of a group like that also meant building connections and that is very essential after the degree has been acquired. Good connections would make the degree worthwhile", he said.
