Lady Discouraged From Pursuing Engineering Now Overall Best Student At Cape Coast

  • A Ghanaian lady at the Cape Coast Technical University called Veronica Ekua Mends graduated as the Overall Best Graduating Student and the Best Graduating Female Engineering Student – Interestingly, when Ekua Mends was admitted, she went to school late and fell behind in studies but that did not affect her brilliant success
  • According to her, she was discouraged by many that engineering was too difficult for a lady, but she has proven all the naysayers wrong.

Veronica indicated that she was initially discouraged from pursuing electrical engineering which she was selected for because they thought it would be too difficult for her as a lady.

“When I wanted to do electrical engineering, people discouraged me saying engineering is very difficult and all that. Even when I started school, a lot of people said am gonna quit my course after level 100 but I never gave up on my dreams,” she recalls.

The brilliant and beautiful young lady said she hopes her story would encourage other young ladies who are facing naysayers because of their big dreams to keep pushing hard because they can also make it. Giving more background to her story, Ekua Mends indicated that after her admission, circumstances beyond her control caused her to go to the school late.

However, even that did not stop her from topping every other person who had come to the school and started studying long before her.
