Fellow Readers,
As most of you may know that in America anyone is capable of receiving a free education, receiving educational grants for college, and are able to fill out a Free Application for Financial Student Aid that is all provided by the government. In my opinion, it surprises me to read an article such as this because the individual behind this foolish act is creating a falsehood for Ghanaian students and parents. By giving false information that triggers an “imagined” hope for many Ghanaian students and their futures. With this in mind, this article, in relation to the Ashaiman High School project embodies a new idea for hope and change in the future of Ghanaian children as well as the administrators in the schools. Ashaiman High School has been a developing project for the Maymester group year after year and we, as Americans, should be considered “lucky” since we are provided with a free standard education without punishment. However, the Ashaiman High School project will give the students a great hope for their futures. So, they can adventure and see the world in different views like myself. In addition, after hearing from Amanda Sergeant, one of the student’s to participate in this project last year, she discussed that the students as well as the schools will be excited to see an African American male helping out the children. Thus, an article such as this does not help the students of Ghana, but creates a falsehood for them. With this project I would not want to develop a false sense of hope or to send letters of untrue information to these students of Ashaiman. I would like for us to think about why Ghana does not have a free public education system? OR why does America offer a free education system even if some do rather not use it?
