Loud in class, loud at home, always loud dreaming big.
About Me
Hey, I'm Matthew. I live in London with my wife, my little brother Chris, and our lion called Yeboah. Most mornings I wake up late, sleep again, and still somehow make it to school before assembly ends - usually.
I'm not the loudest person in my class, but I pay attention. I like learning things that feel useful, especially when it comes to computers and design. On weekends you'll find me watching football highlights, helping my mum in the kitchen, or scrolling TikTok way longer than I should.
This page is just me - the real me. Not perfect, not trying too hard. Just a boy from Ghana figuring out who he wants to become.
A Few Things About Me
- Favorite food
- Cowbell Strawberry on Saturday morning, extra gari with cassava flakes with milo and full tin of milk, no debate.
- Favorite sport
- Basketball - I support Lakers and never miss a match.
- What I love doing
- Drawing, editing videos on my phone, and gossiping with my best friend.
- Favorite book
- The seven deadly sins - I read it twice.
- Favorite artist
- Rema. That voice just hits different.
- Dream job
- Software engineer - I want to build apps people actually use every day.
- Dream school
- Oxford University. I've had the brochure saved on my phone for a year.
- Fun fact
- I can name every player in the 2026 World Cup England squad. Don't test me.
Where I'm Headed
Right now I'm focused on passing my WASSCE and getting into a good university. I know the road is not easy - fees, pressure, everyone asking what you want to do with your life - but I believe hard work pays. My mum always says, "Slowly slowly, the bird builds its nest."
One day I want to build something of my own. Maybe an app that helps students revise, or a business my family can be proud of. For now, I'm taking it one term at a time and trying to enjoy the journey.
