Life hasn't been all rosy - Deborah
Speaking in an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Deborah opened up about some challenges she encountered in her studies.
"My dad died when I was nine, and you know how life gets without a father and a sick mum at such a young age, but then there were some supportive family members, so we managed, and with the help of some teachers, I was able to complete JHS and SHS.
"Right after that, I knew not to disappoint these people, aside from my daddy, who really wanted to see me excel. So, I entered the university under the less-endowed policy because of the SHS. I attended Tema Manhean Senior High Technical School.
"It wasn’t easy, but here I am today, and I must say I am beyond proud. I am filled with joy seeing my mum shed tears of joy and say some words of prayer for me for bringing my dad's vision to life even though he is no longer here with us. I will say I am so happy and grateful for everyone who was instrumental in my life and helped me achieve this."
