At just 26, Ramone Jackson is already an accomplished academic and teacher, and is actively pursuing a PhD in Engineering. It's a success story inspired by Jackson's early love for mathematics, hard work and a series of coincidences.
Jackson did not have the easiest start to life, but a decision made by the person who would become his mother set his life on a trajectory that even he did not expect.
“I will say that I was blessed and highly favoured in the sense that I didn't grow up with my biological mother, I have never met her; I don't know her. I was living with my father and at the time there were three women living in the house, two of them had children with him and the third lady, she didn't have any children but she wanted to leave (my father),” Jackson explained.
