Barbara Aboagye

Profile...


I am a civil engineering student of KNUST,Ghana.I spent my childhood right in Ghana, attended various high schools and got the opportunity to start my secondary education in Wesley Girls high School.My life now is as a result of the holistic education I was privileged to receive. During my secondary education, I got the opportunity to serve as the co-coordinator of the energy conservation committee and learnt quite a lot.I realized that the major canker in Africa was not LACK but our inability to appreciate and make use of what we have.A seed was sown and I started to nurture the desire to be a social change maker.Also whiles in WGHS, I got the opportunity to serve as the public relations officer for ECO club as well as the Writers and Debators Club.A position which has in one way or the other boosted my ego,confidence and given me the opportunity to interact with quite a number of people who are now playing an important role in my life.Am a writer,a politician and an innovator.The most beautiful thing in life is something not gained but achieved with God,tireless effort and determination.I might not be a super hero but one thing am proud of is am loyal to Africa and I will do anything in my capacity to make Africa stand tall as one of the giants of this world. Eventhough am a yet to be civil engineer,I have great desire for the poor and physically challenged hence my desire to set up a SAVE A LIFE FUND to help any person in need and is low on money.Africa can only be a better place if we make a conscious effort to develop it hence my excitement when I got the opportunity to be a volunteer for the IHAV conference.I believe have made it far in life because of my confidence and desire to succeed which I love to term as “annoyingly confident”.Am not the best, I might not even me among the best.I might be a shadow of the real picture but my real joy is the knowledge that in one way or the other I helped made Africa a better place.
