[…] Winning this competition is one of the biggest achievements of my life so far. I knew this was for me the very moment I saw the ad. This is not to say it was an easy deal, far from that perhaps you should ask Ato Ulzen-Appiah and Francis Addai the wahala I went through to get this. I was able to make it through to the top 5 and finally won. […]
[…] https://kadigest.com/winnersiknowaghanaianstar/ My joy knew no bounds, I fulfilled knowing that I have made one big progress in my writing journey. My joy isn’t really about the prize but with the fact that I have been able to achieve something with my writing ability and made progress on this amazing writing journey of mine. Hardwork really pays, I believe and this has proved it. Let’s put away procrastination and laziness and be inspired to work hard in all areas of our endeavours. Remember,”Less Talk, More Action”. I am particularly grateful to all those who helped and encouraged me to get this far. What would I have done without you all? Thank you so much! […]
