Gospel singer Philipa Baafi earns First Class after returning to school after age 40
Gospel singer Philipa Baafi has opened up about her remarkable academic achievement after many years of challenges to further her education.
Philipa Baafi expressed her sincere gratitude to God for guiding her successfully in achieving a first class in Physician Assistant course after age 40.
Recounting her story, she mentioned that life became more difficult after she graduated from Senior High School (SHS) because she had lost both parents at the time and could not further her education.
Despite these obstacles, the gospel singer noted she was still resilient and committed to furthering her education, the reason she applied for a course in Physician Assistant eve after age 40.
However, she pursued a tertiary medical program (Physician Assistant) after gaining stability in her singing career.
Surprisingly, for someone beyond forty, she received first-class honors upon graduation.
“I lost my parents during my primary school years, and my mother passed away when I entered SHS. Although I excelled academically, it was a challenging period for me. Besides my passion for music, I harbored a strong desire to pursue a career in medicine,” she recounted in a video shared by Zionfelix on Instagram.
While responding to the long break from music, Philipa’s husband, Dr. Kwame Karikari explained that she took a deliberate break from her career to further her studies and improve her credentials in order to stay relevant.
He said that Philipa had studied for four years to become a physician assistant and declared her formal comeback to music with her latest single, ‘Eda Ho pefee.’
