From Where I come

Until I entered KNUST, my favourite school life was during Junior High School. I feel most blessed during my tertiary education but it's my JHS I still recall with fondness. What made me enjoy JHS was the education aspect ( and yes, I know we all went to JHS to be educated) But think about it, how many did come for education alone? We were not there to be just "schooled" . We got a lot of that back home. We came as well for the making of friends, for spiritual growth and to see the world we didn't know through the foolish eyes of these friends.
