In many countries including some African countries, the dream of many people is beyond the ordinary.
It goes beyond simply being alive to living the life that you have in full and without dogmatic social restrictions. It involves you making conscious and feasible choices.
In Ghana, many of us have lost track of the dream and given in to a lower level of making a day to day living.
Women especially are less motivated and not eager to achieve beyond their immediate world. When a young woman leaves school, what are the expectations? Right after University, the most prominent among questions she receives from both friends and relatives is; ‘when are you getting married?’ They will not ask about her job or how her pays her bills or who will even finance the marriage.
At weddings she will be grilled, at funerals, birthdays and any small gathering, she will be asked ten times. There is a saying that the education and development of the women in a country go a long way to determine the level of development of the country in general and I believe in this…
Educated and achieving women have children who are more likely to grow up right and achieve higher.
