HOW I IMPREGNATED MY SISTER

It all started when I turned 19, on the night before my 19 th birthday, my sister whispered to me “I am going to give you a special treat tomorrow”. I was curious to know what kind of treat it is because my senior sister is full of bombshells all the time and unpredictable. My sister Kira as we all call her is the name given to her by our uncle who visits us more often. My uncle is the only family member my sister and I knew since we were toddlers till now because our parents are always busy which makes it difficult to even take us out not to talk of visiting their families in the village. I am filled with anxiety and uneasy when she whispered the statement to me. All of a sudden, my parent walked in and I looked at their faces, all that I said in mind is “I don’t think they even remember the next day is my birthday”.   Even though I was not surprised to notice that about them, it was usually of them to only remember when my sister asks them to buy me a gift. My sister Kir...

Sometimes envy makes us be what we want to be at the same time the way we never thought we would be. When u envy it gives you the ability or motivations to become better or worse of yourself, be it financial or morality. The story of a boy who had first class in his first degree started in the year 2014 when he had admission to one of the tertiary institutions in Ghana.

The first week in class, he heard his colleagues talking about GPA and first, second, etc. class.   Initially, he was just wondering what these people are talking about, as he was curious to know the things they are talking about. The boy was shy and reserve type and he did not want his colleagues to know he has no idea what they were discussing. The boy kept quiet and listen carefully. While hi...

MAKING A MOVE, HOPE AND RESILIENCE

 When you run you will get there. When you walk you will also get there. The difference between the one running and the one walking is the difference in time to get to the same destination, but they will all get there. Do not rush, but do not relax, move at your unique but productive pace. Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today. Not everyone is given the chance to grow old so appreciate and thank God for every single day in your life. Bring love wherever you go. Shine light wherever is dark. Leave blessings wherever you’ve been. Be kind wherever you are. You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won't receive the good things God has in store. You can’t hug yourself. You can’t cry on your own shoulder. Life is all about living for one another. So live with those who love you the most. In life, some...
