I got a call my aunt(my mother’s half sister) telling me she has canceled me from her list of nephews. Why?
Because I traveled to Canada to study medicine at University of Toronto without telling her I was going. Why did I not tell her?
After my biochemistry undergraduate study KNUST, I set my sights on U of T so I took the prerequisite exams, filled paperwork etc, prayed and waited.
I passed my MCAT with flying colors and the day my admission email came, my Mama didn’t know whether to cry or rejoice.
I got about 85% scholarship, but even the 15% payment was a big deal for me. We couldn’t afford that plus airfare.
So I applied to some independent grants and funds asking for extra support. And my mother also decided, as backup, to go to her half siblings to ask for help so I could at least buy plane ticket and have some pocket money.
My grandfather had my mother from a previous marriage before she married the woman I know as my grandmother.
What happened next changed everything…
