The man called mawudan
Who am I? This is a question I have been seeking an answer to for years. I have tried every means, looked everything, all in the hope of answering this question tangibly, but no, the answer never comes. There were times I thought I got the answer or at least I was close to getting it, but no, the answer never seems to come, and I tend to always be a stranger to myself.
I know not what I do, why I do it and what I will get as a result on doing it. Does this happen to others too? If yes, then what could be the cause or reason? If no, then why me? Oh how I wish I knew who I am! But I know— where there is life, there is hope. Where there is hope, certainly there will be a way, and in this light I believe I shall get the answer one day. Probably tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, who knows, the answer may come.
Nonetheless, the little I know about myself I will share with you. My name is Mawudoku Daniel, a Ghanaian both by birth and parentage. I am a native of Lolobi-Kumasi, a small farming community in Hohoe district of the Volta region of Ghana. At the moment, I am residing at Hatsoo-Papao, a suburb of Accra. Hey where from the mawudan? Oh, I nearly forgot. Mawudan is just my nickname and was derived from Mawudoku (for Mawu) and Daniel (for Dan). Don’t ask me what it means because I won’t tell you.
In 2006, I graduated from University of Ghana, Legon, with a B.Sc. degree in Chemistry-Biochemistry, combined major of course.
After graduating, I served as a teaching assistant at the Chemistry department of the University of Ghana, Legon, for the 2006/2007 academic year, where I was responsible for supervising and guiding the levels 100 and 200 students during their practicals and then grading their practical works.
In 2004, during the long vacation (that was after my 2nd year in the university) I took up a job at the Agrigoh Memorial Clinic, Hohoe, as a data entry assistant. Here I registered and issued cards to patients upon their call at the clinic as well as collated and documented data on patients.Much of a secretarial work, huh? Well, not per se. Although working here was not as challenging as I would want it, it was quite a wonderful and memorable time staying there as it offered me the opportunity to meet and interact with new people, not to mention the numerous new friends I made.
Between May and July of 2005, I joined an N.G.O. by name I.D.O. (Individual Development Organization) where I worked almost voluntarily as a field officer. My portion of work included advocating for and helping recruit new field officers for the organization.
I have knowledge in wireless networking, microsoft office applications, dreamweaver and some graphics designing.
