Using himself as an example, the young man revealed that he didn't do exceptionally well in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), yet he currently studies law, a course he would not have been given if it was Ghana.
"I had a D7 in my Core Maths WASSCE, I also had a C and Bs, I didn't get an A, but I am a law student in the US."

He explained that in the US, people who are good when it comes to sporting activities are highly sought after by many universities, adding that admissions to those people are based on their involvement in sports and not their academic records.
The young man urged people who wish to pursue further studies in the US to get involved in sports activities in order to have an added advantage.
His story is similar to a Nigerian boy who had D7 in literature. At the time of writing the report, the video had gathered over 2,000 likes and 100 comments.
