I won't stand here and sadden you with Kelvin's story, because the ending, as you'll see, is beautiful.
But when we discovered that at 9 years old he was walking 24 km a day to come to training, we decided that his dedication, beyond a scholarship, deserved something more.
Today he lives with us; for the first time, both he and his coach took a plane and came with us and 40 other kids from the Juventus Academy Ghana @JuveAcademyGh to Italy to represent our country 🇬🇭 in the Juventus Academies World Cup.
If you spend your entire life trying to improve only your own life without helping improve the lives of others, then all your achievements mean very little.
A life lived only for oneself is a life whose greatest purpose was never fulfilled.
Even at 9 years old, perseverance and determination make the difference, and Kelvin is here to teach us all that.
There is a Japanese legend that says:
if you miss the bus, maybe you avoided the accident. If you got rejected, maybe you were saved from the wrong place. If they left, maybe they made room for who is coming. The universe protects you in ways that look like bad luck at first. Trust the detour.🍂
