opportunity to study abroad in Ghana was very unexpected. Studying abroad‚ especially in a place as meaningful as Africa‚ was something that I have always dreamed about but knew would never happen. Living in poverty meant study abroad opportunities were beyond my reach; I find financing my local college education challenging in itself.
