Faith Sobe Cyril: From The Sharks Quiz to Academic Excellence and a Promising Career at Apple
Faith Sobe Cyril’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. A bright student from Presbyterian Boys' Secondary School (Presec-Legon), Faith's story began to take shape on the stage of The Sharks Quiz, where he showcased his brilliance in Season 3
Not only did he clinch the title of Best in STEM, but he also emerged as the Overall Best Shark of the season—a true testament to his intellect and determination.
His outstanding performance didn’t go unnoticed. For being the Best Overall Shark, Faith was awarded a full Presidential Scholarship by Academic City University College, worth USD 40,000. This incredible opportunity opened the door to a world-class education in Computer Engineering, a field he was passionate about. Academic City’s support and commitment to nurturing talent played a pivotal role in his academic journey.
At Academic City, Faith thrived. The university’s innovative curriculum and focus on collaboration and leadership equipped him with the skills and experiences necessary to excel in the competitive tech industry. His hard work and dedication paid off when he graduated with First Class Honors in Computer Engineering.
But this was only the beginning. Faith was soon hired by Apple UK as a Software Engineer, joining the prestigious Evolve programme. This two-year rotational initiative is designed to give participants hands-on experience in various aspects of the company, working on innovative projects alongside industry leaders. For Faith, it’s a dream come true—a chance to contribute to cutting-edge technology and continue growing in his field.
Reflecting on his journey, Faith credits his success to the strong foundation he built at Academic City, particularly the technical expertise, teamwork, and leadership skills he developed there. He also acknowledges the significant role The Sharks Quiz played in shaping his future, challenging him to push his limits and preparing him for the demands of higher education and beyond.
As he embarks on this exciting new chapter, Faith remains deeply grateful to The Sharks Quiz for providing a platform that nurtures academic talent and to Academic City for fulfilling its promise and setting him on a path to success.
