About Me

I started school in western estern where most of the people are into farming. I used to help them in their farm work. I stayed with them until I completed junior high school. The money gotten from the farm was used to help me attend senior high school
I weed and help them during this vacation. I attended Maaban senior high technical school. It was very difficult for me during the school days but with determination everything was successful for me. From there I attended sunyani polytechnic. I studied building engineering at the tertiary level. I got a lot of profit from the farming so I decided not to stay in the farming business. I have now decided to further my education in the nearby future.
my parent used the money generated from the farm to cater for me when I was in school. My fees and other things were catered for by the help of this same money. I collected money from my parent to start my own farm after senior high school. I went for some lone after the fifth year to expand or help grow the business. my land was very fertile and support the growth of many crops such as groundnuts, tomatoes, cassava and other crops. it supplies the crops with all the needed nutrients so they grow very well. my children want to be educated in future. However, some want to be farmers as well. l really like to play football and volleyball because they are my hobby.
