Two needy but brilliant Senior
High School (SHS) graduates in the Eastern Region are appealing for
financial support to further their education to enable them achieve their
dreams.
The graduates – Irene Adobea and
John Dankwa – are students of Adeiso Presby Senior High School and Oti Boateng
Senior High School respectively.
Miss Adobea scored A1 in Government, Mathematics,
Economics, Social Studies, Integrated Science and Elective Maths and scored B3
in English Language, B2 in Geography.
Master Dankwa, on the other hand, scored A1 in Social
Studies, Mathematics (core), Integrated Science, Economics, Government, Maths
(elect) and scored B3 in English Language and Geography in the 2020 West Africa
Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Master Dankwa, narrating the challenges he faced as a student
whose parents were financially unstable, said though he never got the help he
needed while in school, a good Samaritan showed up and came through for him.
“We don’t really have money, I lost my father while I was
still young and it was my uncle who took care of me and he wasn’t financially
stable.
“Sometimes I had to walk from
home to school, but I also had the support from some teachers who believed in
me and took care of me through to the day I wrote my final exam and by God’s
grace, I have been able to excel,” he said with tears in his eyes.
Master Dankwa told Chief Jerry
Forson on Adom FM’s morning show segment The Big Debate when the team visited the
community that passing the WASSCE with such distinction was not the end of he
matter, and, thus, called on the benevolent in society to support him to
continue his education, else his dreams will be dashed.
Miss Adobea, on the hand, said
due to financial challenges, she went to stay with her grandmother and at some
point in time wanted to give up.

“Life has not been easy for me
and my family. Sometimes, what to eat was a problem because my family had no
money to feed me. And so it was one teacher who took me as a child and
supported me and gave me money to eat because my family had no money, but with
the support of my teachers, I pushed through and now this is the result,” she
said while crying.
The students are calling on all
to come to their aid so they get the needed support to continue their education.
