Minus the Romance

I learned that Ghanaian men and women don’t kiss. Romance doesn’t seem to exist. Men and women have very little to do with one another. Sex is not worth much. The Prof. told me that the female university students trade sex for good grades/ possessions/ or a small fee. Women are treated very poorly and are usually in charge of most of the work that is carried out in the society. The education here is infiltrated with cheating and bribing. I was asked to help a guy named Kwesi edit a paper for school. The previous day, I had asked him what he was studying in school. He told me that he was going to school for mechanical engineering. I then asked him what he was learning and what mechanical engineering was all about (I knew what it was, but I wanted to hear his answer). No answer was given. He did not know what he was studying or why. So, this day he needed help printing out a 40 plus page paper, and he told me that he needed me to remove the page numbers. I proceeded to ask him what the paper was about, what part his group did, and why he couldn’t remove the page numbers that he had placed on the pages. He had no answers. I told him that I knew how to remove the page numbers and print it out, but that I wouldn’t play a role in his scheme of lies. He was very upset with me. They learn so little in school because of this kind of tactic. I am so blessed to be a citizen of the U.S.A.
