    Ever seen kids playing at school during break-time? That's what I call real playtime. It's unbelievable the energy they have! Although my playtime isn't as exciting as it was when I was a kid, I still enjoy some extra-curricular stuff.
     
    • I've been tutoring with the Chester Tutorials program on campus. Tutors help kids with homework once a week, after which there's always extra time to run around. Lately I've joined the Science For Kids program as well. With this program students create interesting experiments and projects to whip up children's interest in the sciences.

    • Like most Ghanaians I love soccer, but when I really want to break out in a sweat I'll play Tennis for hours! During the fall of 1998, in the intramurals men's tennis doubles, my partner, Anthony Cheng and I were unable to advance beyond the semi-finals because of technicalities. That same semester, the International Club soccer team, I-20 which I play for, lost to the faculty team during the semi-finals of the intramural soccer tournament. This was despite all the cheering I did as a self-appointed cheerleader/player. Hopefully, we'll get to win the tournament before 2001.  By the way, make sure you check out some interesting pictures taken of tennis celebrities in my Gallery.

    • For the past year, together with two friends, Stephen Armah and Kwabena Adu, I deejay a radio show called "Rythm Is An African Thing" on the campus radio station, WSRN 91.5 fm.  It's always party time in the studios, as we go all out to show the wonderful music that Africa has.  Traditional, Hi-life, Juju, Zouk, Reggae, Rap, Soukous, ... just name it, we play it all!  With WSRN 91.5 fm now broadcasting live on the web, we'll be having even a greater audience, and who doesn't like attention!

    • I've also been writing articles which have been published in the Swarthmore College newspaper, the Phoenix.  My articles have also been published in Mjumbe, the magazine for students of the African diaspora, and Our Story, another magazine on diversity issues.  If you're interested, you can read some of these articles

    • I'm a member of a number of clubs and organizations. These include the International Club as well as the Swarthmore African Students' Association (SASA).  I'm also a member of the Swarthmore Branch of the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) as well as the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE).  I also enjoy participating in activities organized by the Black Cultural Center (BCC) on campus.


    With all these activities going on I guess I should never complain about boredom, right?
