An old guy just got his master's degree from his own son. Joseph Aheto, who is eighty-one years old, graduated with an MBA from the University of Cape Coast, with the diploma handed to him by the acting head of the school, his son Professor Denis Aheto.
The elder Aheto said it was a big emotional moment for him. He already had a bachelor's degree from back in the seventies, but decided to go back to school because both his sons had become professors, leaving him behind academically. He started the program before his son got the top university job, sticking with it even when younger students in his classes made fun of him. He said he just kept pushing through the ridicule until he finished.
