According to the hardworking young lady, she has since been unable to enroll in a tertiary school because of a lack of money, as her grades are excellent.
Watch the full interview below:
Akua further mentioned that she now runs a cabbage selling business with her brother, and is able to make a profit of GHc 100 a day, which she hopes to accrue until it is enough to send her to school.
In answer to a curious question, Akua said she knows very well that there are ladies out there who sell their bodies indirectly to men in order to make money.
She added:
"I am not into that because I believe in myself that I can work and get whatever I want in life and I also don't want a bad name for myself."
So far, Akua, who graduated from Holy Trinity High School, has been into the cabbage-selling business for two months and would appreciate any support to fund her nursing training education.
