Gospel singer Philipa Baafi has expressed deep gratitude to God for guiding her successfully through her educational journey despite facing significant challenges.
Recounting her story, she revealed that she lost both her parents by the time she reached Senior High School (SHS), which made life more complicated. However, she remained determined to excel in her studies.
The renowned artist shared that due to her circumstances, she couldn’t pursue further education after SHS.
Yet, after finding stability through her music career, she pursued a medical course (Physician Assistant) at the tertiary level. Remarkably, she graduated with first-class honours despite being over 40 years old.
“I lost my parents during my primary school years, and my mother passed away when I entered SHS. Although I excelled academically, it was a challenging period for me. Besides my passion for music, I harboured a strong desire to pursue a career in medicine,” she told Zionfelix.
