Blessed Oforiwaa Nsiah, a distinguished member of the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) Team of Mankranso Senior High School, has encouraged her fellow teenage girls to stay focused on their education and not allow challenges to derail their dreams.
She made the inspiring call during a durbar organised by Mankranso SHS to organise and celebrate the NSMQ team for their impressive performance in this year’s competition.
Blessed’s message came at a time when she herself had received remarkable recognition for her academic excellence. She has been awarded a $40,000 FULL SCHOLARSHIP by Academic City University College for her stellar NSMQ performance. The comprehensive scholarship covers tuition, accommodation, meals, a laptop, books, and a monthly stipend, giving her a solid foundation to pursue higher education.
Addressing the students, especially teenage girls, she encouraged them to remain determined and disciplined in their studies.
“No matter the challenges, we should stay committed to our books. With courage and hard work, we can achieve anything,” she said, drawing applause from teachers, students, and invited guests.
School authorities commended Blessed for her inspiring message and praised her for becoming a shining example to other girls in the school and the community.
Her achievements and encouragement have sparked excitement and renewed motivation among students, reinforcing the importance of hard work, perseverance, and self-belief.
