What was the hardest moment for you on your journey that almost made you give up and why did you keep going on? It doesn’t have to be connected to your present status

The hardest moment was when in 2007. After graduation in the UK, I wanted to stay and work but I was on a student visa. I tried as much as possible but it was to no avail. I could not find work to even feed myself and rent a place to sleep. I had to stay with my friends which was a nuisance to them at times. I woke up on 30th November 2007 with 150 pounds sterling and returned to Ghana. I could not return to Kumasi where my family was because I thought I had failed them. I have been in Accra since then.

Christian is currently a successful Chartered Accountant and works full time for an international firm, owns his own consultancy firm, and married with a beautiful family
