Boy On The Way

By


   I saw him in that blistering sun
Eyes haggard, hair jagged
I wondered, "whose son? "
His bone structure had questionable integrity 
And I wondered if his head would give way under the load
His master for the hour yelled "hurry!"
Then paces quickened and my heart leapt! 
Oh God!  the boy looked like one who hardly slept
Amidst yells of "make way!...I'm coming through! "
The boy trudged to his destination finally
The ungrateful master gave him a few pesewas. 
The boy with a grateful heart sauntered to join
 the other boys ,perpetual natives of the streets. 
The sun scowled brilliantly on his discoloured hair
And boy's nightmare began again.

"  "Sure," Yalley answered. "And you won't take it badly if my answer is 'no' right? " Sarah enquired with concern spread across her smooth oval face. "naaa, " Yalley responded cooly with a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Silence then crept into their midst as the bus glided along the Accra streets. Sitting beside her, Yalley conte

  Hi there,  my name is Owusu Frimpong Michael but most of my college buddies call me "Mr Bean" . You and I know very well that the beast called "oguaa" is nearly upon us and with this post I would like to share with y'all some strategies I have used that have worked. It doesn't matter whether you are a freshmen or perhaps a step away from graduation, these strategies I assure you when applied correctly will help you kick ass so much in this semester's and other semester's exams ,the question papers will beg for mercy! Step 1: Planning Your Battle Strategy   You have heard it being said through the ages that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail. This also applies here and is as a matter of fact quite pertinent if you hope to shake a lot of A's from the "oguaa " tree. It doesn't really matter if you've studied your course content from the very beginning of the semester or you have just waited for the two weeks prior to t

Okay so starting off with our "Series Wednesdays ", me and my procrastinating self along with my good friend @ Awurabena Amponsah of  www.thecreatars.wordpress.com  have written this series.   It was quite exciting because we took turns writing chapters and sent them to each other over whatsapp.  One wrote a chapter without the other knowing fully well what ending the other had in mind😂...All in all,  here we are with our little tale!...It was spontaneous and we enjoyed writing it.... We hope you enjoy reading  it too!😋 Ps: I have missed you guys so much!😍😍😍                                  ETCHED                                   CHAPTER 1 "What is the difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning?"
