Sharing his joy and more details about his son’s educational journey, Dr Appiah-Thompson said Peter has served as a head prefect through his basic and secondary education.
“At the University Primary, he served as the Head Prefect, went on to University JHS and there, as well, he was doing well. Also worked as the Head Prefect and then went on to Mfantsipim.”
“Interestingly one of his main motivations for going to Mfantsipim was to contest in the National Science and Maths Quiz. Apart from me, some of his cousins had also gone through Mfantsipim, so he wanted to be there,” he added.
Even though Dr. Appiah-Thompson is an old student of PRESEC, he supported his son when they contested against his alma mater.
He added that though his wife, an ophthalmologist, wasn’t in Ghana during the competition, she always supported her son.
The UCC lecturer expressed gratitude to God for all he has done for them and those who have supported them.
