The Asomkahene of Anum-Asamankese, Nana Kwaku Agyei Kodie I, has urged Ghanaians to teach children to have confidence in their abilities.
This confidence, he said, is imperative for the development of Ghanaian societies and stressed that believing in oneself is powerful.
“In Ghana, our resilience and determination show that with hard work, they can overcome any obstacle,” he said.
In a heartfelt speech delivered as a guest of honour at the graduation ceremony of the Rising Sun Montessori School, Bortianor branch over the weekend, Nana Kodie I emphasized the significance of the graduation theme, “Building a Tradition of Excellence; Think, Dream, Believe, and Achieve.”
The theme, he said, resonates deeply with Ghanaian values and serves as a guiding principle for the future of Ghanaian children.
He encouraged critical and creative thinking and stated that Ghana’s rich storytelling tradition inspires children to ask questions and seek knowledge, thereby helping them to innovate and solve problems.
He urged the young graduates to dream big, asserting, “Dreaming is the first step toward greatness. Their dreams will shape the future of our nation.”
The Anum-Asamankese Asomkahene emphasized the impact of fostering a tradition of excellence and stressed the need to support children in thinking, dreaming, believing, and achieving, adding “We can build a brighter future for Ghana.”
The event, marked by excitement and anticipation, underscored the importance of nurturing future leaders through critical thinking and self-belief.
The ceremony, attended by distinguished guests, parents, and educators, stressed the collective commitment to nurturing the potential of Ghana’s youth.
The young graduates, celebrated for their hard work and dedication, are poised to embark on their next educational journey, inspired by the words of Nana Kwaku Agyei Kodie I.
