Nana Arthur's academic struggles before Harvard

According to her, she struggled to complete secondary school, facing suspension over some behavioral issues and being labeled as "loud and disruptive."

However, with the support of a dedicated teacher who saw her potential, Nana said she turned her academic life around, discovering a passion for education.

"Young people shouldn’t be held back due to a lack of support, or circumstances they had no control over. Every student deserves the chance to reach their full potential, no matter where they come from. I have spent the last 4 years mentoring underrepresented students aiming for elite institutions. My postgraduate degree will help me to scale my efforts," portions of her TikTok post read.
