Voorhees, NJ

Kwasi Twum-Acheampong graduated in 2011 from
Eastern Regional High school in Voorhees, New
Jersey. As a star defender of the Vikings, the
schools football team, he was well liked and
respected among his peers. His talent on the
field was undeniable, and appreciated by everyone
who played with or against him. His charming
personality and his willingness to learn with a
smile on the face made him a favorite among the
coaches. In fact, his coach stated in an
interview with philly.com that Kwasi was one of
the nicest people that he coached.

His fellow teammates were proud to be playing
with such a strong player on their team, and they
believed that Kwasi Twum-Acheampong was a major
asset to their training sessions. The players
believed that being in the field while Kwasi was
defending made them work even harder to improve
their skill level. Standing at 5 feet 10 inches
and 150 pounds of sheer athleticism made him a
tenacious defender. His teammates agree that
Kwasi made it very difficult for the offense to
score a goal. Even now, he has all the qualities
required of a fierce player like his ability to
jump high, his immense speed, and his quick ball
recovery skills.

His dedication on the field is mirrored by his
hard work in the classroom. He is an engaging
student who likes to learn not only because he
has to know the material for the tests and
quizzes, but because he is genuinely interested
in the subjects. His family migrated from Africa
about 27 years ago, and they believe in the power
of education as a promoter of future success.

His parents instilled great values in him
including steadfast determinism, dedication to
excellence, and kindness towards other human
beings. Kwasi Twum-Acheampong is currently
enrolled at the University of Virginia civil
engineering program with an expected graduation
date in 2015.
