Description

At 26 years old, Ramone Jackson is already pursuing a Phd in Engineering at the University of the West Indies. Despite growing up in poverty in  Greenwich Farm in Kingston, Jamaica, he's today a Mathematician , a teacher and a student.
His early life was tough as he often slept on the floor of his adopted grandmother's house after his mother took him to live  with her when she moved away from his father.
His love for Maths started at Excelsior High School where soon he started teaching the subject to other students so he could pay for lunch and his bus fare to school.
His story is inspiring as he shares how he was able to beat the odds and prove that" its not where we are from but where we are going" that  matters.
