Formal school was brought to Africa by the white man to educate a society that was used to informal and social education, hunting and living freely and in harmony with the wild.

Sometimes I imagine myself having lived in those times..................free from school. School to me is like what a man is to woman...."Can't live with them, can't live without them". I love school, don't get me wrong but yesterday, I almost cursed those settlers who brought it to our motherland. Have you ever stayed up the whole night becuase of this mind-opener? I have, a zillion times! But everytime I have to its like the a new tormenting experience I can never get used to. I stayed up the whole night yesterday busy with one of my never ending school assignments. YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I almost cried....exhaustion, red teary eyes from starring at the computer for to long, it was hellish. The funny thing is I always tell myself after crossnighting, that I'll never do it agian. That I'll try to manage my time better and hopefully never have to experience being drunk without having taken any alcohol...................but what do you know? When I'm swamped with a load of work as I often am, I'm back cursing (well almost...I'm a Christian woman and I try to refrain from negetivisism..[if there is such a word])............anyways as I was saying.......back almost cursing and wishing I was born before the times of the civilisation and colonisation of the motherland.

On the bright side though, I would never have had the opprotunity to Take it Global...so thank God I'm living in this time hey!
