CHAPTER 559:

The Joy when one gets what one wishes

Bitter Sweet National Service Experiences

I wasn't amazed when GhanaWeb reported that newly posted national service personnel had to throng Ghana Airports for endorsement. In fact, this is no news at all; it has become an annual ritual.

Do you know the amount of time, sweat, funds I had to invest in other to get a befitting institution to serve?

Experience indeed is a good teacher. I can't imagine eleven months had just elapsed into seven days of quality experience. Don't get me wrong; in case you are thinking I had a paradisical service as those Airport space fighters in the news are wishing for then you better find a well-cushioned sofa to sit and read on.

In mother Ghana, every graduate from the tertiary caucus is mandated to undergo at least one year service to the nation.
