One of the most memorable photos in my academic life has been so much admired by many who have seen it and listened to me explain the thrilling account of my educational sojourn. I remember in 2009 one of my first blog posts for Ceasefire Liberia, which highlighted the struggles science students went through at the University of Liberia carried this photo which clearly explained the academic status quo at the University of Liberia by then.
This photo has not only made me believe in myself and my ability to become a chemist, but also motivated my entire academic life. it's like a force that pushes me every moment of my academic life. In it I always see courage, determination, strength to overcome, enthusiasm, challenge, and most of all, a blessed child destined for success. The required tools of the trade were always unavailable, but I remained steadfast.
Well, a full account of my academic life has just begun and by the grace of God, will be published in few years to come as my first book titled, ¨My Moments in Academia.¨
¨You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.¨
