On vacation

Good to be back from school after a successful semester. Everything that has a beginning has an end. The semester was good with few setbacks. Lecturers were more punctual. Classes were very effective. However, some students were referred in some courses. It is often sad to see students fail in some courses. Among such courses include Economics. It is more or less demanding at University of Cape Coast. Not withstanding that, general performance was relatively good.
I wrote twelve quizzes, six assignments in five courses for the semester. My assessment was okay. I had an average score of 29 out of 4o marks for the assessment. I hope the examination will as well be okay.
Being in the house is the beginning another project. I have enjoyed four days out of 120 days of the vacation duration in the house. I ought to rest for a while. I have interacted with more friends and families in the house. They are happy to see me again from school. Anyway they are very proud of me. I will travel to Kumasi on Monday to start my attachment. I will teach Economics in the senior high school. I will stay on the school’s premises for three months. I will get back to school at the beginning of August My family and friends are also going to lose me once again.
I will attend smartKids junior board meeting at the end of this month at Kumasi. This is to plan for smartKids annual meeting that would be held on 26th of June and to plan effectively for Selection of new kids for the SmartKids Foundation. This year’s selection will cover two or three regions in the southern part of Ghana. Already, we have sent Letters to the Regional Directors of education of two regions about the Foundation’s intention to select kids from such regions. The old selection process still holds. As soon as we are done with the general meeting, the selection theme will travel to the various regions to start the selection.

I have to visit other smartKids in the junior high school (Joystandard international school) on regular basis for my three months stay in Kumasi and also working effectively forsmartKids Foundation. Some of them recently graduated from the junior high school. They will proceed to senior high soon. Those who graduated from the senior high last year are soon to be enrolled into the tertiary. Indeed,SmartKids Foundation is growing.
At the moment, we are waiting for Mr.Kees’ (Founder, SmartKids Foundation) arrival from Holland. It been a long time we had face-to-face interaction with him. We missed his absence. He is to arrive in Ghana with other Board of directors on 12th of next month. I wish him a safe journey to Ghana
