About Me

I was nine years old when I started Class 1. Everybody laughed at me because I was already grown. At the time, I was staying in one room with my grandparents and six of my cousins. My mother was 16 when I was born and couldn’t take care of me. I never met my father. In class 3, my Sunday school teacher, John Otoo, took me into his house and taught me farming. I scored second highest in my class in the final exams for Junior High School but I got sick before I could go to Senior High. The admission fee was 1500 GHS but the hospital took 1450 GHS. I was forced to stay home for a year, so I polished my farming, and I prayed for someone to sponsor my schooling. A businessman called Oguaa Akoto, paid my fees for Senior High School. I stayed with one of my teachers, Anthony McCarthy, so that I could continue my farming after school and help support myself. He was my role model. I copied everything about him to the extent that I copied his handwriting. After school, I became a pupil teacher, and I continued with my farming. Last year I started pursuing a Bachelor of Agriculture. I am the first person to enter tertiary education in my entire extended family. All those who laughed at me? I wasn’t bothered by them.

My Business

Am into plant nursery which I nurse fruit and cash crops like manago, avocado pear, cashew, cocoa, oil palm, teak, moringa and neem tree.
I provide all these to my community because the demand for these seedlings are very well and my seedlings are of good quality, which they are hybrids and hybrids takes short time to harvest when planted.
I emphasized all the agronomic practice which makes my seedlings of high quality.
I used my profit to pay for my siblings school fees and also improve home.
