THE VALUE OF EDUCATION

Daniel Webster once said:

“Education without the Bible is useless.”

You may or may not agree with him

It’s worth listening to him nevertheless

It’s better not to have been born at all than

To live in 21^st century without education

Beloved youth of Africa, especially Ghana

Please place premium on your education

 Your parents’ ordeal in search of school

 When you fail to get your first choice

 Offer them your first gift of hypertension

When you enter Senior High School

Stop blocking your ears with earphones

Internet should lead you not into temptation

Rather a vehicle to your academic destination 

In class listen to your teachers with rapt attention

Put Facebook aside and grab your textbooks

When you graduate you can swim in the sea

Of Facebook, twitter and Instagram until

You enter the kingdom of heaven!

“A word to a wise …”
