I am Emmanuel Asiedu and I will be 40 years old in January 2021. I grew up in Ivory Coast, a French-speaking country, and actually completed my entire education there from primary to tertiary level. I am married with 3 wonderful kids, 2 boys and a girl.

Opting for the Project Management course at Athena will definitely help me achieve my career goals. I would like to end up one day working for one of the United Nations organizations. 

The application of Project Management principles and guidelines are quite universal and will enable anyone who is familiar with the same to fit into any organization.

Next, I would like to enroll in a pure procurement course.

The ability to come to the aid of a fellow human being; especially prisoners and orphans give me a sense of accomplishment.

In Africa, prisoners are marginalized and rejected by their families. On the other hand, orphans need a shoulder to lean on and sleep off. They want us to share their day-to-day stories. We could all do with attention but prisoners and orphans need it the most.

Hope, which is derived from my faith, is the rock upon which I step on to get back from any fall. I am a very optimistic person.

I like the contrast of life the book provides. It tells you about the reality of life and how one must accept who they are and forge ahead without fear.

My little village because of the serene environment and the safety it provides.

I  consider Nelson Mandela a hero because he did not harbor hatred though he was wrongfully jailed for 27 years. He made peace with his jailers.
