Fuuny, loves fun and curious.
I am a junior in one of the best private high schools in Ghana. I love school because you get to meet interesting people at school. I am curious, I want to know everything about anything.I has always been my dream to own a world renowned software development company; and, there's no doubt that an education at college will be the springboard I need to making this dream a reality.

Art Therapy 2011 to 2011
I together with a team of other students visited a deprived village in the volta region of Ghana, where we helped bring out the artistic talent in a group of kids from the village. We helped the kids draw stuff based on the themes of "water" and "joy". This was an interesting activity because it allowed me to relate with kids I have never seen before, and who had experienced hardships I could never imagine. It also made me aware of the extent to which people were deprived around me; and the fact that we as humans just needed to do little things to change this.

Building Project 2011 to 2011
Together with a group of other people, I visited a deprived community in the Volta Region of Ghana to help build a school for the kids in the community. This was a tiring activity but I believe in the end all the hard work paid off; the fact that I was part of a group that was making a difference in the lives of people especially was good enough to get my mind off the pain I felt whilst we were building the school. Building the school together with a team made me aware of the fact that the only we as humans can achieve great things is by working together as a team.
