“I studies accounting and costing at Aggrey Memorial but during the SSCE, I didn’t write these two papers…I wasn’t into studying. My concentration was on entertainment and performance. I regretted my decision. I watched all my classmates gain admission to the University while I stayed home”, she said.

I participated in Miss Ghana pageantry in 2005…I had some regrets after my classmates and my best friend stopped calling me after entering the University. I believed she started looking down on me. She might have thought that I wasn’t a serious girl, she couldn’t make it. I was pained and I just said to myself that I have to rewrite and sure I get to school. It was right after Miss Ghana that I went to Central University”, Yvonne added.
