Matthew Edah.

I was born on a cold winter night, when even time seemed to stand still, in my native Alakple, volta-region. I do not remember much of my early childhood, but my mom said that I was a very active, curious, and communicative child. I would ask dozens of questions each minute, even without waiting for the answers. I suppose this is why my parents offered me books and educational movies as early as my third birthday.

Fortunately, my thirst for knowledge did not come to an end when I was at school. I was passionate about technology and science. This passion helped me gain profound knowledge in these areas, and I was admitted to the college of my dreams. Today, I am a student at a well know technical institute, Kumasi Technical Institute and I feel very happy about it.

I am certain that my degree will become my ticket to a better tomorrow. I want to become an IT specialist and a vulnerability researcher. I study hard and devote my free time to reading scholarly reviews and watching interviews with recognized specialists in the field.

I have come to believe that two main factors determine success. First of all is a person’s own determination and will to succeed. Are you ready to make sacrifices to achieve your goal, like working and studying at the same time? Are you prepared to recover after failure and proceed to your goal again? Without strong internal motivation, it is nearly impossible to become successful.Equally important is the support of people around you. Being determined to succeed does not mean alienating everyone and stepping on other people in order to achieve your goal. On the contrary, success is about recognizing your weaknesses and accepting support from people who genuinely want to help you.
