"My father had told me that I would go to school, no matter what, as long as he was alive. So, when he passed away, I felt my world had ended," Michael shared, highlighting the profound impact of his father's passing on his aspirations.
Despite the initial setback, Michael found solace and motivation in his father's parting words. "Even if I die and cannot train you as I trained your brothers, God will raise people who will train you". Encouraged by these words, Michael persisted in his pursuit of higher education.
