Sharing more about her journey, the first-class degree holder admitted that she was very hopeful that she would get a great job right after her national service, given her excellent academic performance, but that was unfortunately not the case.

"Prior to my service, I had been full of hope as I had studied hard to attain First Class honours and dreamt of a rewarding career that awaits me. You can imagine a First Class student who has graduated from the University of Professional Studies, Accra, with a CGPA of 3.76 and how enthused I was to be employed in the corporate world"

After trying for months with no positive outcome, Sandra birthed the idea to venture into a shoe business and has been successful at it.

"I had to ask myself the "W" questions; Who am I? where do I come from? where am I going? where do I start from?
