The Premiere Journey to the University, The Rough Ride Experience
This is a non-fictional anecdote about Agbesi as he was hooked up by the tussles in securing his university education. As he graduated from secondary school, he was very passionate in furthering his tertiary education in order to make his dream as a petroleum engineer come true. Though brilliant, he could not make it to the university that very year he had completed secondary school by virtue of gross financial constraints.
Agbesi having known his fate, had to spend a year at home and work for his industrious but impoverished mum and his rich misery surrogate father. Loving his mum so much for her care for the family, he decided to help her in her petty business as against teaching. As the real-life experiences unfold in the story, Agbesi had been stood down from her mother's drinking and food spot business and coerced to embrace his surrogate father's block factory and land-surveying enterprises. Notwithstanding that he earned meagre wages from any of those businesses, he continued saving and finally applied into one of the most prominent public universities in the country and bought a few school items too from the same savings.
Finally, when he was about to leave for the university, there arose the issue of paying his academic fees. Through the intervention of two of his benefactors in his secondary school, this dire condition was resolved. All set and done, he was full of gratitude as he set off to his new school.
