Inspired to dream again.
Victor was discouraged and emotionally bruised as the impact of the coronavirus pandemic and its effects ripped through him. Thankfully, he has been encouraged and strengthened to bounce back through the many insightful sessions from the CoRe Programme. He shares his story.
I am Victor Atsu Ocansey from the YIEDIE group and a beneficiary of the CoRe Programme. I am most grateful for the lasting impact the programme has had on my life. It has indeed strengthened me and set me on the path to dreaming again. I was emotionally bruised but I have been given the courage to face my challenges squarely and overcome rather than become a victim. The inspiration from this programme makes me see challenges as an inevitable part of life, which must necessarily be overcome through resilience and decisive positive action.
Indeed, no man is an island. Our challenges become bearable when we share them with persons who can encourage and support us rather than keep to ourselves and risk losing out at the end of the day. I have been equipped to adapt new strategies in my field of work and build relevant social networks. I also intend exploring and developing my talents and put them to productive use. This I believe would help me to stay focused.
Thank you, CoRe. I have had a wonderful learning experience.
