Ghanaian gospel sensation, Obaapa Christy has revealed that she did not bother going for her Basic Education Certificate Examination results after completion.
According to her, she envisioned that she would not pass all the subjects, so she made no effort to return to the school after the results were released.
“I reached JHS, but it’s not that I stopped; I wrote BECE, but I didn’t go for the results,” she said.
Responding to whether she passed her exams, “I didn’t even go for it to see whether I passed or not because I foresaw that I wouldn’t pass,” the singer replied.
Not that she didn’t study, but the singer held the opinion that even if she did, she would fail because she had nurtured the mindset that she was not good academically, making learning difficult.
As a result, she channeled her energy towards singing and praying at school since she enjoyed doing them.
“When we visit a colleague who is sick, then I’m asked to pray, or I’ll be called to lead praise and worship during Wednesday and Friday church services or a teacher would send me to buy something. Those were the things that made me like going to school,” she further added.
Not only did she dislike studies, but the gospel singer mentioned that she also detested dictation sessions in class.
Nevertheless, Obaapa Christy feels she would have excelled in her academics if she had positioned her mind to study thoroughly, considering how smart she is at capturing things at her current age.
She does not regret her conduct at school because she believes that education is not the only way to success for everyone. Although she supports formal education, she firmly believes that God’s blessing is the ultimate.
“My success is based on the grace of God that located me, and so I don’t joke with such grace,” she said.
Focusing On Achieving Ambitions
Obaapa Christy revealed that she does not pay attention to criticisms but rather focuses on achieving her ambitions.
According to her, God listens to the heart and not the words of others because she believes that life should be lived without fears and led by the dreams of the heart and not focus on others.
“At the end of the day, those who criticize you are not the ones who provide food for you and your family. At the end of the day, God did not create you all the same. So, you don’t have to lose focus in everything you do. And don’t pay attention to criticisms,” she said.
“That’s how life is. Even Akuffo-Addo is criticized. It’s part of life. But what am I supposed to do? I don’t have to lose focus because I have something great to achieve at the end of the day. That’s why God created me,” Obaapa Christy mentioned.
The gospel artist cited from the Bible, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, my cup overflows,” she quoted, adding that there are trials and tribulations that will befall men but He [God] comes to the aid of focused individuals.
She disclosed that even if she is not directly criticized, she pays no attention to them because there is no way it will affect her.
“The most important thing is that I have a vision to achieve. I have children to cater for. I have a family, I have loved ones, and I have workers I cater to. That is the most important thing for me. I didn’t give up when my issue was circulating online because they wanted to talk about it,” she noted.
Obaapa Christy revealed that some trials and tribulations pave the way for people into their greatness, stating emphatically that Christians and children of God should speak positivity into their lives.
