Taking to his TikTok page, the latest graduate, identified as Prince Duah, shared a carousel showing how he graduated from SHS to the present day as a graduate of the University of Ghana Medical School.
SHS was an interesting time for him, as he received a couple of awards during his graduation. Sadly, life chose a different path for him.
The second carousel explained that two years after graduating from SHS, he was pushed to the street, carrying out labour jobs just to make ends meet. Now, in 2025, he has become more than he was years back, and he is grateful for it.
Prince Duah not only became a graduate from UGMS, he served as the President of the University of Ghana Medical Students’ Association (UGMSA). He also explained that the journey was not smooth as it brought about deep reflection, nervousness and constant prayers.
