Counting my blessing .............................................. When i finished JHS in 2008 i made a good grade of 08 from a public school. I opted for Adisadel College but unfortunate for me at the time CSSPS of the GES placed me in this less endowed sch in Swedru,Swedru sch of Business. I didnt like the sch, my colleagues frown at it and for my family it was a no go school for them not because of the school but lifestyle in Agona Swedru. I remember watching TV and my dad on his PC,he quizzed wht are you doing about your school. My friends who had phones at the time,their phones were off meaning they had all gone to school. I told my dad Gods reason for giving me that school should come to pass. What bores him is getting such a sch with those grades. He gave me the admission fee and i made my bankers draft at the Kaneshie mkt branch of GCB I went to Accra to buy my khaki and white tops, trunk and chop box all alone. My mum was an anti swedru crusader. My sister accompanied me to sch the same week. I arrived at the sch and i met Adamu Mohammed (organism) a mate from the same JHS but we were not that close. Our frienship became much stronger. Adamu also made a cool 09,opted for ADISCO but encounted my agony. Bebia ne ha to wit, i can make it here. I said to my self. I was sent to 1B3 class where i met alot of great people with knowledge and better grades even than i had. We won the form 1 inter class quize though i wasnt a contestant. We moved to form 2 and i was sent to 2B4 due to a difference in a subject of study. I was made the CP in my abscence. I took up the mantle. I must admit,it is herculian task and annoying too. We moved to form 3 upto form 4 and i still held to the post with my Able Assist Ms Farida Naa Adoley Pappoe now in UPSA. I offered my relentless support to the SRC when i became a CP. I remember the then Headmaster get angry any time i am called to make contribution or ask questions when he attends our meeting. I unravel our wrath and uncover corruption so he saw me as a nuisance. Hold and be hold i was tipped by some out going prefects and friends as the in coming boys prefect. Loved ones even started campaingning for me but i made their effort worthless. I always want to make contributions from behind and not a front liner. I had a conviction that as an advisor my leader should succeed and even i still do. I was made the SRCs Gen secretary and Ms Farida Pappoe the Vice prez. We contributed immensely to the facelift of the school. I remember people chanted No Desmond,No Presentation when the SRC was presenting a laptop and a projector to the school in my abscence because i was rootlessly suspended indifinitely. I made some good grades in the WASSCE with a least of B3. UG admitted me but i declined the offer and accepted that of UPSAs. Am meeting great people in life. Lawyers, Doctors, enterpreneurs, politicians, communicators, most of all is my student friends with wild dreams et al. Am grateful Jah ......... I have a story to tell some day. I owe someone a thank you. In all ive learnt this. Do what you are good at in the best manner with humility. Good morning great people
