If going to College in the US is nothing but a MUST as it was for me this book is for you.
I hope this book encourages others like myself who find themselves in the background, gender, culture, or race similar or different from mine to find encouragement in pursuing higher education and pursuing their dreams..
However, I am one of many stories to show that it doesn\'t matter what your background is and where you come from anything is possible if you dream big and work hard.
My background as an African American immigrant, woman, and minority might be considered a weakness and disadvantage in pursuing a science degree.
I completed my College degree at the University of Pittsburgh at the Oakland and Greensburg campuses.
Then I attended high school at the Pittsburgh Science and Technology Academy in Oakland, Pittsburgh.
I attended middle school at the Colfax Spanish Academy in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood in Pittsburgh.
I am a proud Ghanaian and Pittsburger.
I was born in Ghana, West African, and immigrated to the United States.
About author(s): My name is Huldah Ohene Kena .
I even share my experience going back to middle school on how I was able to achieve my degree in science as a young, uniformed, minority in a world somewhat created to be against my dreams and aspirations.
I also go into details about specific steps I took that made me a good candidate for universities I applied for and got accepted into.
Most importantly I Want students to know that you are not alone in your journey to higher education.
This book is filled with information to motivate, encourage and give students tips on how to prepare to attend a university or College in the United States.
I have only been successful by asking questions from my teachers and professors and never losing my dream or determination to attend college.
Just like many of you I came from a background that did not necessarily prepare me for college.
