A multi-award-winning Ghanaian actor, Van Vicker, has finally graduated from university. This came 21 years after leaving high school.
The thespian bagged a first-class degree in Strategic Communication from the African University College of Communications, Accra, Ghana with three top prizes.
Van Vicker took to his Instagram handle where he shared photos of his graduation, narrating how he worked so hard and never gave up on his dream.
See what he wrote: “21 years later, here I stand before you with 3 achievements during my graduation; to God be the Glory. 1. 1st class honours; 2. Best Student in Strategic communication; 3. Best Communication Student
Award.”
Van Vicker revealed that he was unable to go to school in 1997. This is because he had a single mother who could not afford to send him to school otherwise. He would have graduated with his mates in 2000/2001.
“The above is within the context of my 2021 post on social media and is in no way presumptuous but uprightly to inspire – I could not enrol at a tertiary institution in 1997 because my single mother did not have the funds. If free SHS was available back in the day, most likely I would have graduated in 2000/2001.
“My career took off and I have been blessed but as someone who relishes education getting that degree was just a matter of time.
“I will complete my Master’s program this December and I am sorely motivated and committed to going even beyond, God willing.
“I thank all those who supported me and is supporting me during this journey.”
As he prepares for his masters, Van Vicker shared his graduation photos to thank his supporters and inspire others to never give up on their aspirations.
