A Ghanaian scholar, George Asiamah, has shared his inspiring journey from academic failure and personal hardship in 2003 to earning a PhD in 2018.
He describes the transformation as a "15-year walk from grass to grace." The story begins in 2003, a year marked by what he calls "chains"-a metaphor for the setbacks and failures that threatened to define his future.
By his account, the turning point came in 2007-2008, when he made a quiet but resolute decision to pick up the pieces of his life and refuse to let failure be his final chapter.
He explains that despite shame and discouragement, he chose to persevere.
