Good morning.

My name is Gloria Agyeiwaa Antwi Botchway. I am a product of God's grace and hard work. I stand before you today as a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and God's grace. My journey to becoming the first female PhD Mathematics graduate from the University of Ghana is a story of triumph over adversity, of hope in the face of despair, and of the unbreakable human spirit.
