Just recently, Agnes had moved to Bulgaria, a small 6th grader without a care in the world. She'd always been shy and refused to take on leadership roles as well as socialize with people.Now she's 2/3 through 10th grade and has to choose her IB courses. She's overwhelmed and utterly flabbergasted by how quickly her childhood has passed. Ultimately, she regrets not taking advantage of it in every way possible. Agnes Amoh was born and raised in Ghana. She has lived in two countries as of now; Ghana and Bulgaria. She speaks English fluently as well as 2 other Ghanaian dialects. She also aspires to become fluent in French. Agnes notices that oftentimes people focus on having a "better future" and therefore do not take advantage of their "present". As she has been actually a victim of this herself, she wishes to reflect on the past and warn people not to walk her regretful path.
