Less than two years later, Ohemmaa Esther said she graduated from Tarleton State University, where she was awarded another master's degree in Mathematics.

She said both degrees have had a profound impact on her, shaping her intellectually and emotionally.

Ohemmaa further expressed gratitude to God for guiding her through her academic journey.

"On August 10, 2022, I left my family in Ghana and travelled miles to the USA to pursue another master's degree. It was tough because I was still working on my MPhil thesis back in Ghana. I finished with my thesis, had a virtual defence and graduated in November 2023," she wrote.
"Less than two years and I'm here again, graduating with my second master's degree in Mathematics. Both degrees have shaped me so well, both intellectually and emotionally. Thank God for the path and opportunity. I'm officially a holder of two master's degrees in Mathematics. All the glory to God," she further stated.
