THE HISTORY ABOUT MY LIFE

My name is Emmanuel Buamah. Born on the 14th May, 1985 that was Tuesday. My father comes from a town in Ghana known as Anfoeta Tsebi in the Ho district of Volta Region. Whiles my mother come from Ho Takla also in the Ho district of Volta Region Ghana.

I started school at the age of four years. I first went to Kindergarten at Jordan-Nu. Three years I attended this first stage of education. After three years, I went to basic one which we called class one also two years.

After these two years, I stepped forward to basic two and this time one year in this class. By the grace of God I again went to stage three also for one year of attend. I attend basic four and six too one year. The only place I suffer most in life and will not forget is when I was in basic five.

When I was school up to basic five, some thing happened to me and that was. I one day had a wound on my leg. This wound result in to sickness and it was very terribly. It was white fiver that attacked me. By then I was in my last term in basic five before the thing happened to me. I became sicklier on bed for about one month. Infarct I don't dream of being alive today. It is only God that knows what we don’t know. This affects me a lot so I have to repeat for more studies in basic five.

After completing the primary school, I went to the Junior Secondary school. This stage is divided into three forms, form one, two, and three. I could just remember when I was in first year of form one, I one day globed a palm tree to cut palm-front for waiving basketry though I don't know how to wives it too I hope to do it through determination. Unfortunately for me is I was baited by a bee that I don't know it is there. This one also brought a lot of pains in my life but I said to my self that I will never up-sent my self from school because of that. Just because I don't want to repeat that form. My friends says all kind of wards to me thinking they are teasing me but I always cover my head with handkerchief till I was recovered from that too.

I had know problem in form two rather enjoyed it. In form two third term, I was elected as the Senior Prefect of the school. Oh first in basic six I became the bell boy and form one again the bell boy till the top most post was given to me as the Senior Prefect in the J.S.S. When I reached the last year that is form three, in the second term which was 20th April 2002 I wrote my final exams which we called (Basic Education Certificate Examination). Our paper had been cancel so I have to rewrite it again that same year. It is true that I wrote it and when the result came, I saw that I passed which makes me happy.

AFTER JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL

One day, a messenger came to me that the elders of the village will like to met some of as in my grandfathers house (May his soul rest in perfect peace)he who died after the reason why we were called. We were informed that day that some white men are visiting the village to learn drumming and other. Therefore as we are waiting for our results, they will like as to stay with the people coming so that if they need something, we can provide them and give them help.

We did not also refuse to do that rather, we were happy to help on the behalf of the elders. I could remember we were six in number .I think here is the picture of we those who were chosen that day.Two of as were waiting for our result and two were also in the Senior Secondary school. I Emmanuel is wearing the brown colored sheet with a chain around my neck. Noah my friend is in the blue sheet, and the others.

This time the people actually came and it was a very joyful day when they arrived. The children were drumming and dancing in front of them whiles they were going to the High Priest house. We the caretakers were also busy preparing the house for them.

After their return from the High Priest house, I saw a man who was egger to come out first just because he want to see the wonderful children in the village. This man as I saw him the first time, I guest in mind the he will be a busy and kindly man because of how he greeted as the first day. The true picture of this man came after some days. I was seating on a chair when he asked of my name and I gave it to him, he also gave his to me as CHRISTOPHER ALEN NIELSEN.It was from that day that we know each other.

I became friend of his from that day so we do every thing together. I some times teach him drumming and the EWE language as well. This is one of the pictures the two of as took together This man has a plan for me but I do not know till he get back to America. Now almost every week the two of as have being communicating, which is very good? This is also some pictures of me in the guest house where my good friend, brother and the same time father and his people stayed before I was with them.

After the departure of my good father, my result came and I could see that I have qualify to continue my education. Yes this is now a challenged to my parent to send me in to the next stage of education but because of luck of money on their side I did go after I wrote a letter to my good friend Christopher he decided to send me to school surprisingly. By then my father also tried his best to borrow money from one of the members of the community here for me to start school. And God was so god and kindly to help me through this man for he saw the sufferings that my parent went through when I was young.

IN THE SENIOR SECONDARY TECHNICAL SCHOOL

I went to the Senior Secondary Technical School on the 21st September,2002.I started as a junior and now as a Senior. The course I am offering is BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION.With this I am learning how to draw a plan of a building as one of my elective, upon all this I am been engaged to eight (8) subject. They are English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Add Mathematics, Building Technology, Technical and Geometrical Drawing plus Building Drawing, and Physics. These are the 8 solid subjects I am going through in school now.

As at now I am in the final year in school so if God permit I will writ my final exams on the 4th July to 4th August. For now I am the vice President of my house, house four (4).

The only problem I may say I had in school up to now is I was attacked by yellow fiver one day which took me for getting to three weeks before I became fully recovered and also I am have eye problem sometimes which disturbs my reading some times and till now there is no solution to it yet.

My dear readers, what makes me smile are drumming, computer uses and games (football and volleyballs) and watching movies and traveling etc.
