About Me
I was born in a village called Dabiasem. My dad died before I was born. My mum took care of me during my primary school. I used to walk one and a half miles before getting to school. At times, rain beat me on the road. I was later catered for as an orphan. After junior high, I had to stay in the house for two years before I continued to senior high. At times, I had to stop school and work for money. The people around me gave me their support when needed. My children would like to be a computer engineer and a doctor.
My Business
I am continuing my education. After senior high, you have to go further in order to fit in this technological world. I would like to buy a tablet at 750 GHS and pay my school fees of 1526 GHS. This will enable me do more research in my studies. The tablet contains the models for studies. Without it, there is no way to learn and pass. After graduation, I will use use the money I get to invest in my children and a business. I will make sure they don't go through the hardship I went through.
Loan Proposal
I will buy original phones $225, China phones $125, batteries $25, chargers and head sets $30. I will also pay my school fees which is $600.
About Me
I grew up in Dabiasem. I never saw my father when I was born. My mother took the burden upon herself to cater for me. I passed through a lot of challenges. I always get to class late. My friend has helped me set up phone accessories shop.
The fertility of the land helps the people to cultivate more food to sell and to feed their families.
I love browsing on the internet and watching football.
