About Me
Atta Victor is my name and I was born in a village called Akomadan in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. I attended Akomadan SDA primary school. At stage 3 of my primary education, my father ran away leaving all the responsibility on the shoulders of my mother. My mother took the burden on herself and took care of me and my other three siblings. early childhood education was not easy for me and my mother. I walk on foot miles away to school because we can't afford transportation everyday. God being so good I managed to complete Junior High School. After I completed, I stayed in the house for two years to help my mother in her farm business to raise enough money to pay my admission fees to the secondary school. Life in the secondary school wasn't easy, I was always sent home for school fees. I missed some examination papers because I was owing. Sometimes I had to go and sit in the house for weeks working on peoples farms for money to support my schooling. But with all these, I managed to complete my secondary school with a good grade.
In my country, if you complete just secondary school, you don't fit well in any job market so I'm working harder to further my education to attain a better future. And also to fit well in the worlds demanding job market so that my children will not suffer the hardship I've passed through in life.
My Business
Education is very important in one's life. Education is highly recommended in my community so I've put it upon myself to continue my education so that I can help my family, my community and the nation as a whole. But education in Ghana is not an easy thing. It involves a lot of cost. Education is not easy for the poor. The cost fees, text books and other things that will aid you in your learning is very expensive but one becomes successful if he pass through all this. If am able to pass through all this and have a good education, I will be employed and I will save money for a better future for my children. My family and my community won't be also left out.
Loan Proposal
I will use the money to buy books and a calculator. Learning without the required materials makes a successful learning difficult and hard for one to achieve his set of goals. I am no exception, learning to achieve a goal has been difficult for me because I lack some coarse books which will enhance deeper understanding in my coarse. I struggle to learn, sometimes I borrow friends books or walks miles away down town to community library to get books to study.
With the case of mathematics and the other computing programs, I find it difficult to calculate without calculator.
The money will help me to purchase a calculator and coarse books form successful learning.
