Something Cool About Me/My Favorite Things: I have traveled overseas to West Africa, Ghana, and to Oxford, England. I had amazing experiences at both places, but my greatest joy was on a dusty road in Akropong, Akupapem. Several youngsters, ages 3 to 5, surrounded me and shouted, “obrimi”. In those moments, I felt unconditional love.
