A determined young man named Osei Agyei Eric has defied the odds to earn a bachelor’s degree in Education from the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), Ghana.

To sponsor his education, Osei worked as a security officer at his own school, ensuring he could pay his tuition and support himself.

In a video shared on TikTok, Osei narrated his inspiring journey of perseverance. After losing his father years ago, he was left to fend for himself. With no financial support, he took on the role of a security officer at UEW, working tirelessly to cover his fees while keeping up with his studies.

Reflecting on his achievement, Osei expressed deep gratitude to his late father, acknowledging his efforts despite not being able to witness his success. He also thanked his mother for her unwavering support, which helped him push through the difficult times.

In another story, a young African man named Obed Asamoah Boateng overcame all adversity to graduate with a First-Class degree in Philosophy and Political Science from the University of Ghana.

Obed’s journey to success was filled with challenges. He grew up with uncertainty about his future, even before completing secondary school.

Despite excelling in the West African Senior School Certificate Exam (WASSCE) with 5As, 2Bs, and a C, he had no hope of furthering his education after high school due to financial difficulties.
