In a TikTok post, Bryte shared an inspiring tale of his journey and how long it took him to realise his childhood dream.
He stated that he was rejected by the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) in 2011 when he attempted to enlist as a soldier in service of his motherland.
This rejection, albeit painful, did not deter Bryte, as he picked himself up and forged ahead to achieve his dream elsewhere.
13 years after moving to the US, Bryte applied to the military, was accepted, and enlisted as a soldier after meeting the necessary requirements.
Bryte, who graduated from the University of Ghana as a Nurse Anesthetist, attributed his success to God's favour and blessings, which made it possible for him to move abroad and get a chance to serve in the US Army.
"Rejected by my country military, 2011-2017. 13 years afterm here I am, today serving the greatest Army on earth as officer. Some rejections are blessings. So don't give up, embrace the disappoitment and move on," he wrote in the caption of his post.
Netizens inspired by Bryte's US Army story
Bryte has become a source of motivation to many netizens who chanced on his TikTok post, as his story highlighted the importance of perseverance and exploring opportunities elsewhere.
