Mrs Samira Bawumia, the wife of the vice president of Ghana, has revealed that she was the first graduate in her family.
According to her, her supportive parents helped her doggedness towards reaching her goals by providing her with education.
Bawumia who spoke on Asempa FM stated that education is very important because it adds value to one’s life.
She said, ”I am the first graduate in my family, both mother and father side but I had a dogged determination because the only way for me was forward because when I was going to school I had very supportive parents, not typical ones who will force you to marry early. I had the type of parents who helped me with my schooling.
“By the grace of God I was able to go to school and today, it has been a blessing to my family. Now people in my family are pretty well educated now but at those times, I was breaking barriers because of the opportunity I had”.
