“This Woman Who Didn’t Know My Name, & Has Never Seen My Face, Paid My Admission Fees To Enter University In 2017”- Man Celebrates Woman Who helped Him Pay His Fees On LinkedIn

A man named Efo Korku Mawutor is celebrating the woman that helped him pay his admission fees in year 2017. He has never met her before, neither does she know his name.

Sharing his story on LinkedIn, he wrote;

I got admission to study in the Ghana Institute of Journalism, in 2015, 2016 and 2017.

On the first two occasions, I could not raise the admission fee. In fact, I carried my skinny short but confident self to meet the Rector in 2016, Dr. Dzisah, to beg him to allow me start the school so I pay the admission fees later but it was an exercise in futility.

I had paid my own school fees throughout senior High school cause my parents could not afford it. And I was catering to two of my younger siblings.

In 2016 and 2017, I applied for Mastercard Foundation scholarship at Ashesi University but I couldn’t get in because I had C5 in Core Maths, (my worst grade in the WASSCE)

So, in 2017, based on the confidence from my teacher that her sister would support me by paying the first years fees, I applied to GIJ again. And guys, this woman who didn’t even know my name, nor had ever seen my face, paid my admission fees to enter the university in 2017.

Her generosity is what set me on the path to reaching where I am today.

Today I celebrate Madam Makafui Aku Akpah and her sister, my teacher, Gladys Akpah.

Three quick lessons:

  1. Live a life worth recommending.
  2. Gold-hearted humans exist in this world, no matter how many dark ungrateful hearts you meet on a daily.
  3. God’s Not Dead.
