I AM A VICTIM

It saddens my heart when I talk about this. It disturbs my mind when i think about this. What is this disturbance coming from? It just occur to me when I reflect on the past. The first prime minister/president had a great vision for art development in Ghana. That is why he built so many schools and industries to train people in these fields. After series of government overthrow, this vision has shuttered. My question now is: ' CAN WE HAVE A DESIGNER FROM GHANA'. Yes I ask this question because I am a victim. I am a victim of the neglected prospective designers. I am a high school graduate. I was taught to only paint and sculpture. Yes, that is the PRIDE OF AFRICA. This is because of our unique culture. I feel within me that, i have an extra talent. A talent to divert from our old system of painting and adapt to this modern system of designing. Searching through the colleges in Ghana, none could offer me this opportunity. How long will this situation exist? As at now, I am in the house, waiting for the opportune time, but will my talent always be patient and stay with me? No, it will soon vanish into thing air, into a place where it will become useless to the citizens. As at now, I call myself the home Dolce and Gabbana (D&G). Why, because I can only stay in the house and design footwares and dresses for my friends and siblings. I am making a fool out of myself because, it is just an abstract and I want it to be materialised.At times, I find it annoying as I see my mum sweep all my works and dump them in the bin. May be she thinks I am waisting time, resources and energy. She is right though, because once in Ghana, you can never be trained as a designer. Help the weeping soul, Help me.
