Musician Becca, born Rebecca Acheampong at the 14th congregation of the University of Professional Studies, Accra, emerged as the best student in her class.
Speaking at the 2023 University of Professional Studies, Accra’s (UPSA) graduation ceremony, the Singer who graduated with a Master’s degree in Brands and Communication with a GPA of 3.92 making her the school’s 2022 valedictorian noted that, with her many occupations, pursuing her education seemed like an impossible task.
She said just as it has been possible for her, it is possible for everyone.
“Being a mother now, a wife, a career professional and a singer furthering my education seemed quite impossible but thanks to my ever-supporting husband, Dr Saani Daniel who was always there to remind me that it was very possible, there is nothing you cannot do under the sun if you dare to try,” she said.
Becca noted that “I stand here before you as a testimony and confirmation that if you can dare to dream you can surely have it. I really hope someone out there can be inspired by me or by this and challenge for even high and better.”
She thanked the lecturers and the Vice Chancellor for their guidance throughout their studies. She also appreciated parents and guardians by saying:
“To all lecturers, we pray that your fountain of knowledge will always flourish and replenish as you continue this beautiful task of imparting knowledge daily. You are indeed the backbone of this nation and may God bless you all.”
Talking about her new milestone, she said “Wooow… This can only be God. I need to catch my breath. I am indeed grateful to God”. Giving details about her master’s programme, the mother of one said it took her a year.
