    As a Ghanaian-American, nothing makes me prouder. Dreams, goals and aspirations never die. Thanks for encouraging me

      The point is that he's not one in a billiion. He's a bright guy who made good decisions, worked hard and believed in himself. There are lots of kids who could do the same, but are given up on and so give up on themselves.

      EdD5 it’s about opportunity, not all foriegn kids/ Africans get the opportunity to study or come to the US.

    Super-inspirational! This shows that the path to glory is rough but it will be worth it in the end. Very encouraged-God bless you Dr. Boahene. From an aspiring physician also a Ghanaian.

    Kudos my brother. I've gotta say, graduating medical school as THE #1 is marvelous; a wondrous feat. Then getting into Johns Hopkins for a residency/fellowship...My God. He's got it going on.

    as a fellow Ghanaian who is currently a rising senior in high school, this inspires me so much. He went through all of that and more, yet he was still top of his class and made it in life. I too want to become a Surgeon. If he can do it, then I can too

    Love this story. He can identify with struggle which makes a perfect fit for the medical profession. The medical system would be so much better served if diversity was a given. So many struggles to this day. We need people of all kinds to embrace and love each other. I found this video in my search for the right doctor for me. I like hearing from a doctor in their own words. Videos like this are so very important and helpful. God Bless you Dr. Boahene. Stay who you are and continue to strive and improve lives. Your story is what makes you special. 🙂

    He had an astonishing zeal to get his career! He is truly an ideal sample of the commitment one must possess in order to become a surgeon. I want to be an Orthopedic Spinal Cord Surgeon, and while I know my road wont be nearly as though as his, it will still prove to be quite a challenge to get there. This has boosted up my motivation a lot, and that is just what I was looking for. Thanks for uploading :)
