In all, the six high schools within the Abuakwa South Municipality, Abuakwa State College, Apedwa Senior High School, Kibi Senior High and Technical School, Asafo Senior High School, St. Stephens Senior High School, and Kibi Technical School, had a thought-provoking time with resourceful persons from diverse backgrounds.
The objective of this all-important exercise was to build confidence, shape characters, and raise the aspirations of senior high school students in the municipality through this mentoring and coaching seminar.
During this period, I was privileged to have “solid” mentors including Dr Benedicta Naa Suma Nii Laryeafio (Medical Doctor), Dr Fred Appoh (CEO of REAMC Engineering Consult Ltd, UK), Dr Stella Agyemang Duah (Research Scientist, Ghana Atomic Energy Commission), Mr Kwabena Ampofo Appiah (MD, State Housing Company), Mr Kwame Prempeh (Deputy CEO, Public Procurement Authority), Dr Eric Ashalley (Nanoscience and Technology Research Scientist, CSIR-IIR), Mr Kofi Asenso (Procurement and Supply Chain Professional), Amma Frimponma Frimpo (MD, SIC Savings and Loans), Amma Frimponma Frimpe (Dr Kofi), Mr Kofi Asenso (Procurement and Supply Chain Professional), Mr Kofi Asenso), Mr Kofi Asen
I asked the students to have a positive mindset since everything is about how the mind processes it.
“Therefore, if you put fear in the mind, you exhibit fear.” If you put positivity in your mind, you will exhibit positivity. Everything starts and ends with a mindset. “What you feed your mind with is very, very important,” I stressed.
I am most grateful to the Municipal Educational Directorate of the GES and the management of the various schools.
