Maame Abena Owusu-Acheaw
4th Year
Ashesi University College
Business Administration
I currently aspire to become either a Lawyer, specialized in the business or corporate sector or a Marketer In the near future. I have these 2 career goals because, these areas are those of Interest to me; and I have identified these over the past few years of my life. I am hopeful that by the end of my study at Ashesi, I would have utilized all the resources around me in making a better choice out of the two. From these, I expect to gain adequate knowledge to help me establish my long awaited business dream – An Art & Crafts Company, which would do everything from using natural resources found In Africa In event planning through to marketing them.
‘Every big thing they say starts small’, a saying that I have never omitted from my endeavors in this life. With a strong believe in this saying, I started a small journey at Ashesi, not knowing how the road would lead. Tougher and tougher, the journey got, but I never lost hope and still believed that my little dreams would become big someday. That someday finally came by God’s grace, after a third try with NAPE Foundation, seeking assistance with my fees. Now, I travel a new road with the hand that NAPE Foundation has offered me with this scholarship. Now, I know that I am not just closer to completing my undergraduate program, but also closer to birthing the little dreams I have nursed within me over the past few years. Thank you, may not say enough, but the relief this opportunity brings to my family and I, starts a new story that can’t be completed today. This story is the value of the appreciation my family and I show to NAPE for this opportunity given me.
