Then in 2019 I was successful to participate in a global enterpreneurship competition !
called the
Diamond Challenge Competition
which was brought to Liberia throuht The Youth Network For Reform Inc..
( YONER LIBERIA)
were by the grace of God I was able to reach the final, and was certificated as an entrepreneur, and start to work with a team to form our own organization to help the disable people and start a tech company.
I join the competition not only to compute but to gain, and to find a was to my career.
And today I can prise God for my experience in life now!
Still in high school, but very creativity and innovative.
And I must appreciate those great people who help have made me reach this fair in life!!.
