THE NEED FOR CRUISING

 Nothing is more fun when you are cruising in a car that runs good getting you to a point where you feel the need for speed. I’ve driven a few cars from ford escort, ford contour, Chrysler, Volvo and just to name a few. They say you are what you wear but the car makes the man. For instance, my 1999 Nissan Maxima does not even come close to others cars on the road as far as cruising is concerned. Yet, I am still content with the little cruising my maxima offers, because it gives me confidence whenever I am on the road. 

Mirage of the future

Growing up as a kid planes really fascinated me and wanted to become a pilot but due to an incident it changed my perspective. The point came where naming planes came naturally and even knew the times they flew and passed by my house and even knew to the minute, the second when one off my family members were travelling and even coming. The incident that chanced my perspective was a plane crash but besides that there are other things in mind for my future and that is one day I dream of becoming a media mogul both here and in Ghana.

             There is no single way to define home. Since our individual experiences and cultural differences shape our way of thinking and views, the definition of the word “home” might differ from person to person. In my view, “home” is a place where the weather is about ninety degrees throughout the year. Mostly the weather there is a tropical but occasionally varies with respect to seasons and elevation. A place where there is a stress free life with a well relaxed mind, body and soul. For me this place is called Ghana in the western part of Africa and although Columbia, Maryland is part of my home too I prefer Ghana more due to the fact that I grew up there all my life and attended school there.

            Ghana is a place where there is political stability and lack of religious and tribal conflicts. Though Christianity dominates but there is an unflinching peace between Christians and other religious affiliations.
