I have
finally climbed Mount Afadjato, the highest mountain in Ghana, standing at 885
meters (2904 feet) above sea level. I wish I could say I hiked up the mountain
with no trouble, but I’d be a big fat liar. I crawled, complained and prayed my
way up that mountain. There were no less than 10 times where I breathlessly
proclaimed to my friends and fearless tour guide that I would rather go back
down than to continue up. But they encouraged me to walk a few more meters,
where I would once again refuse to move. On it went, me praying fervently for
God to help me, me threatening to go back down, and my friends bolstering and
encouraging me, when finally I reached the top- ALIVE.
Here I am
