25-year-old Nana Yaw Addae-Sam is a digital marketer and graduate of the University of Ghana, Legon, with a bachelor of arts degree in political science and theatre art. Nana Yaw is a proud ‘old boy’ of Saint Thomas Aquinas Senior High School.
Being born into a Christian home, the doctrines of Christianity were instilled in him from a very young age. Nana does not joke with his prayer life even as he attains adulthood. Nana also does not joke with time, a trait, he believed he picked from his high school days at the St. Thomas Aquinas.
On Nana’s list of people, he looks up to as role-model is world-best footballer Christiano Ronaldo due to his hard work. He believes that Ronaldo is an “embodiment of unrelenting resilience”, a trait, he said, runs through his late grandmother, and his biological mother who is a Warrant Officer with the Ghana Armed Forces. These persons inspire Nana’s drive to higher heights.
Nana Yaw aspires to become a barrister in the not-too-distant future. Also, he hopes to gain financial freedom to be able to lend a helping hand to those in need of financial support.
Touching on the Top Intern reality show, Nana Yaw said, “The Top Intern reality show goes beyond the theoretical stereotype attached to other intellectual programs. This reality show is one that expects its participants to be broad-minded and be able to think on their feet.”
Some of Nana’s takeaways from the activities he undertook since the start of the competition include public speaking skills, thinking instantaneously, and teamwork. These skills, he noted, are essential in the corporate world.
Nana loves to follow political content such as the Key Point, Ghana Tonight, or TV3 New Day. He also loves watching his favourite footballer Ronaldo playing or listening to music in his leisure time. He is an ardent follower of TV3, a subsidiary of Media General Ghana Limited.
Nana is in high spirits and remains resolute in his quest to emerge as the overall top intern ahead of the grand finale today [Thursday, January 11, 2024].
“I feel optimistic even though naturally as humans when you are about to approach the final of a reality show of this magnitude, you feel a bit nervous but mine is positive nervousness. This is because I believe I have what it takes to become the ultimate winner of the show,” Nana Yaw reaffirmed.
We wish Nana Yaw the very best!
