She came from a poor home
Priscilla Nyarko's mother also sells kenkey and her father has a small farm, for which reason they wish their daughter could be supported to further her education as it is beyond their financial muscles.

The brilliant young girl who desires to study nursing at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is the fourth born out of six children.
The girl passed despite her background
Her grades are exceptional as she did not have access to a lot of facilities but was still able to pull off such a remarkable academic success.
It appears to be obvious that if Priscilla is unable to get the needed support, she would have to continue selling kenkey for a long time to come.
