Lady who spent 10 years after high school working to fund herself finally bags 1st degree at 30
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh previously reported on a brilliant and hardworking 30-year-old lady called Doreen Agamah who has finally graduated with her first degree, exactly 10 years after she finished senior high school.
The Ghana Institute of Journalism graduate narrated her breathtaking journey in an inspirational post on her LinkedIn handle, where she revealed that she had no support from anyone.
“I was 20 with no support from anyone. I did petty petty businesses at that age till I completed Senior High School. Since no one was there to help I made up my mind not to further my education. Because I don’t have the money. But one day I woke up and said to myself, no matter how long it takes, even if I have to attain my 1st degree at age 50, I will," she recalls.
