INTERVIEW WITH ABA ASAMOAH
CHOOSING JOURNALISM WAS BY A MISTAKE – ABA ASAMOAH
Aba Asamoah is an Online Journalist at Ghana Reports. She is an ardent believer in equal rights and equal opportunity for all, regardless of social class. “ Choosing Journalism was by a mistake”, said by the online journalist Aba Asamoah during an interview with her when she visited level 400 journalism students at African University College of Communications on the 22nd February, 2021.
According to her, even though when she was coming up in the JHS, she had been writing articles for the Junior Graphics, she wanted to go to Technical School. So after senior high, she bought forms but was not admitted to Tech that very year. So she bought again the following year. But in order, not to sit at home and waste this year too, she then decided to buy Ghana Institute of Journalism forms as a plan B in awaiting for the admission of Tech as well; since she was not sure if she would be given the admission.
Unfortunately for her, a week after she had started GIJ, and she got admission at Tech. This she said, worried her a lot since by then she had paid her start up fees and had started schooling already. Henceforth, she would say though it was a mistake, but it has been the best decision she had ever made; because it has yield positive results in her life. If not, she would have been moving from offices to offices in search of job.
Moreover, the online journalist who had been a Covid-19 survivor says though she had had a severe head and back ache for two days after she was isolated; she would say, she was okay and did not experience any sort of symptoms even after she was tested positive. But in other words, Covid-19 has not yield any positive results as far as she is concerned. Since some of her colleagues who got infected also were having severe pains and couldn’t breathe; and that, a lot of lives had also been lost.
