    1. He was getting on my nerves. He never got to touch me though. In this way, I saved my dignity and his reputation. He is a teacher at APGSS.He tried to kiss me because he liked me. From the first day I met him, I called him, "Bad Man."

  2. I just did some research on Ghana and they export products such as gold, timber, cocoa, and oil. Being as though oil is a high demand anywhere you go, there should be no reason for the government "not to have any money".

  5. comment: when i was a kid i use to have long hair and use to get different designes when i got it done and didnt feellike going to have to get it done everyweek. but i got it cut because it was getting to hot maybe thats the same reason why those girls in Ghana dont have hair and another reason may be because they cant efford to keep their hair done all the time so it will be better to jus keep it cut.

    Question: do the girls down Ghana use any type of shampoo or conditioning for their hair ? Do Ghana have Hair salons ?

    Fact: Ghana is heavily dependent on international financial aids.

  6. I find a difference in Ghana and American. The girls for one show a difference within language. The way the girls don't worry about their appearance says a lot about their character. Moreover, there is a lot of discipline within Ghanaian women. I can see they carry themselves with dignity and pride.

    Fact: Ghanaians are made up of many ethnic groups. Some of these groups include the Akans, Mole- Dagbon, Ewes, and the Ga- Adangbes just to name a few, with the Akans being the majority.

    Do you think Ghanaian women will adjust to the cold weather if they decided to come to America

  7. Comment : Everybody in these pictures hs weave except one person.

    Question : Do the girls in Ghana wear weave like the girls do here?

    Fact : Most girls in America prefer weave over their hair.

  8. comment: I think that Ghanaian girls achieve so much more because they dont have to worry about who looks better or who dresses better. I believe that if Overbrook girls cut their hair it would not make a difference because they will find a way to stand out.

    question: is there a certain length on how low do girls hair have to be cut?

    Fact: Due to the diverse ethnicity, there are over 100 different dialects spoken in Ghana. English has become the official language since the British took over in the colonial days. Now over 60% of the total population can read and write english

  9. Comment:I Love my hair and getting my hair done and being able to get diffrent hairstyles to express who iam or how im feeling at that time. so i couldnt imagine having to cut it all off i would be so upset but i believe in Ghana hair is not even a big factor so thats why i believe its not that serious or upseting to them.

    Question: why cant they just get braids instead of cutting there hair off ?

    Fact:
    There are over 100 different dialects spoken in Ghana.

  11. Comment: My hair is my main priority and I enjoy getting my hair done every 2 weeks. Even though I have a short cut and my hair isnt the longest I still feel like I need some type of hair to run my fingers through.

    Question:Can Ghanaian young ladies dye their hair different colors?

    Facts:Ghana Population is 22,019,000.
