‘Hard but Still Pushing’

‘I completed Junior High School in 2010 and started working in a biscuit shop where I had to carry biscuits and provisions from a truck for retail. The work is hard and stressful, sometimes we started at 8am and didn't close until 11-12am, even during the Christmas celebrations. But all in all, I had to do it so that I could get money to pay off my school fees when I started at Takoradi Technical College where I studied auto mechanics, but I had to stop there as I could no longer pay my fees. After then I was introduced to YIEDIE and began a placement with a Master training as an electrician.’
