Akwasi to the Olympics

I am so happy he did it!
Akwasi Frimpong has been living in the Netherlands without a permit for quite some time. Not knowing what would happen and being rejected had quite an impact on him, he couldn't really start what he wanted to do- sports, go for it- too many strings pulled him back. When the strings were gone they lingered in his head. The amazing thing with Akwasi is that he is very good at slaying his dragons and telling us about this. Never give up! Take your next step. Choose people around you that will inspire you and support you. And he is an exquisite example. The Olympic Dream has been around for a long time. He started out a sprinter. Due to an injury this didn't work out. Then bobsled followed. Did not work in the very last minute. Now he is the first Ghanese Athlete to take up a skeleton! Fantastic, amazing, well done, wow! Good luck, tyrant! Go for it in Pyongyang!
