Just as everyone else dreams about the future, James Lutterodt, the late National Science and Maths Quiz, NSMQ contestant for Keta Senior High Technical School, chose a path he believed was going to contribute to his personal life, his family and the nation at large.
The little champion just after gaining national recognition from the 2021 National Science and Maths Quiz, NSMQ and completing Senior High School successfully, opted to focus on IT as the world grows into a hub of technology.
A WhatsApp chat between James Lutterodt and his trusted teacher popped up even before he could take a step to apply for admission to tertiary.
In the chat, James Lutterodt enquired from his teacher the step he was supposed to take in his quest to become a software engineer.
" Sir if I want become software engineer, what should I be doing? " James asked
" James let' s take it from Computer Science or Computer Engineering gradually, " his teacher replied.
Really being an IT minded young star, James Lutterodt gained admission into the University of Ghana where he was pursuing his first degree in Computer Science until his death.
He was subsequently offered admission into several universities in the United States of America to pursue his dream course, but life did not allow him to.
James was a member of the 2021 NSMQ team, including Francisca Lamini and Bright Senyo Gadzo that made KETASCO proud by becoming the first- ever school from the Volta Region to reach the finals of the prestigious competition.
The Level 200 Computer Science student at the University of Ghana, who recently also gained admission to one of the American universities, died Monday of suspected food poisoning while in school before returning home on vacation.
His demise broke people' s hearts and left majority devastated. Former President John Dramani Mahama could not but joined mourners as they pour tributes.
