A Ghanaian lady living in Spain has narrated how she became a lawyer and later learnt she was the first Ghanaian to practice in the European country.

Lawyer Juliana said her parents took her to Spain before she could register for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Juliana said her first hurdle was the language. She performed poorly academically because she did not understand Spanish, but Juliana became a top student when she learned the language.

Juliana said she started topping her class. During that time, other Ghanaian immigrants often took her around to interpret the Spanish language for them.

As a child, she hoped to become a nurse, but her aunt encouraged her to study law because she could speak the language and was performing well in school.

Juliana decided to heed her aunt’s advice and study law, only to realise she was the first Ghanaian to become a lawyer in the country.

She said that even though the journey was not easy, she was happy to have achieved such a feat.
