Ghanaian man, George Asiamah has shared his inspirational story of how he earned a job as a lecturer at the Oxford University in the United Kingdom.
George Asiamah who scored Mathematics F, Integrated Science E, Social Studies E, English Language F, Economics F, Geography F, and Government E in his Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE) in the year 2003 is now PhD holder from Sheffield University in the UK
“From F in chains in 2003… to a PhD Scholarship in 2018 – The 15-Year Walk from Grass to Grace! If you ask me now how I made it… I will say, all credit to the 2007-2008 version of me. The one who picked up the broken pieces, dusted off the shame, and quietly decided that failure was not going to be his final chapter.” He shared his story on Facebook.
According to him, his academic failure to academic excellence began from Chchibong in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
“BECE (Chichibong) → SSSCE (Trabuom) → BA (Kumasi) → MSc (Belfast) → PhD + Postdoc (Sheffield) → Lecturer (Oxford). A quarter of a century later, the boy became the story. That truant kid from Chichibong became a Lecturer at Oxford (The World’s most iconic University)” He indicated.
“He understood that even after the world had written him off, he still held the pen. And with trembling hands, he began to rewrite it. Today, I salute him. Because without that version of me, this one would never exist. So, if you’re holding a broken script right now – just know that your story isn’t over. You can still change the plot. One day, I will tell you the full story – But for now, enjoy the pieces!”
George Asiamah who didn’t allow failure to define him urged the public not to undermine anybody despite how they start their life.
“If I could travel back 25 years, I’d tap that little boy on the shoulder and say: “We made it, my guy.” Never underestimate what grace, grit, and small beginnings can do. Sɛ wahyeaseɛ na esua, w’awie bɛyɛ kakraa!” He stated.
