I was just a girl, but I knew what I wanted and how to get it. I knew how to pick my own battles. I really started to find myself when I went to secondary school at Mfantsiman Girls Secondary School in Saltpond, Ghana. It was an exciting and memorable time in my life. The independence and the friendships were so exhilarating. I was interested in everything. Perhaps if I had not relocated to the United States (US), I would have been a politician. In school, I started new clubs, chaired clubs, and was elected Entertainment Prefect, ensuring that every Saturday night was fun for me and for everyone at school. I loved to dance. Maybe it was my love for Michael Jackson. I would take part in dancing competitions. I was really on fire. I AMTHIS GIRL IS ON FIRE The notes get higher and the tempo increases; the music is almost deafening. The notes rise and fall; the music undulates, then reaches a crescendo, and I swing my neck and let go. A fire dance, I spring from left to right, then back right to left, not caring who is watching or what they will say, unafraid to make my moves. This girl can do anything. Anything. This girl is on fire! 11
