My name is Sherif Nuhu, I am twenty-Seven years old with five siblings, a sick mother
and unemployed father. I strive with other siblings to provide financial support for my
parent and also to fuel my education. I worked in a school after every vacation to get
money to support myself in school. My elder sister has been my helper since I started to
pursue the undergraduate course in school.I have experienced the pain of how it feels
to come from a less privileged background despite your desire for education and this
have encouraged me to extend my support to people who found themselves in similar
situations as mine. I have developed great passion to further my education to achieve
masters in education which I need this scholarship to make my aspirations come to
pass. I completed my undergraduate studies in education at Ada college of education
(Affiliate of University of education, Winneba). Throughout my academic journey, I
developed a solid foundation in theories of learning mathematics for upper primary,
guidance and counseling, psychology of learning in the middle childhood and gained a
deep understanding of the core principles and theories in this field. My academic
performance has consistently been excellent, and I graduated with bachelor of
education (upper primary).
To further enhance my knowledge and skills, I actively sought out practical experiences
related to education. I had the privilege of working in extended teaching internship at
Sege Presby number two basic school. This experience allowed me to apply theoretical
concepts to real-world scenarios, strengthened my problem-solving abilities, and
enhanced my research skills. It also exposed me to the challenges and advancements
in the field, fueling my passion for further education.
