I guess you already know who I am but let me make it more official… drum roll…. Amanda Afua Owusu Ansah est mon nom. Still growing so can’t tell you my age but joined the Taurus stars on 24th April. This voyage was definitely not an easy one but with God on my side, I have been able to sail through.

The class was made up of 47 beautiful girls from all walks of life. The rejected Gey Hey girls, Abugiss, Roses, the Motowners….all confined in a dilapidated classroom, coming together to form what was then known as the Lil Shakers. Now when I stand in front of the class, I see 51 matured young ladies with different characters.

It’s pretty much amazing that we have been able to pass through the good times, the best times and even the worst times … not forgetting the break-ups and the make-ups. In all it has been fun. I will always say that you guys have been the part of my life.

To Peggy: thanks for keeping me on the right track when I go wrong.

To Glorie: thanks for making me laugh everyday

To Kukua & Abby: can’t wait to read your scripts for my movie production

To Rita: your screams and piercing laughter will always make me remember you. Thanks for   destroying my ear drum.

If your name is missing from here, no fear, you are safe and remembered in my heart. It would be an understatement if I say I am going to miss you terribly.

I just can’t find the right words to express the vacuum you have left in my heart. I believe that life is a journey and we all must move to next level. As humans we are bound to believe whatever that comes our away. If I see you guys someday, or if I don’t….well fate will tell. I wish you all the best in the outside world.

Remember life is too short to permit the wrong person to influence you. Goodbye. No, that’s not good. See you all in the university. Now that sounds better.

Live, love, laugh and be happy.
