J.S.S, said she has no certificate to that effect.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, the large family size at the time coupled with the economic situation did not favour her to complete school and had to bow out quite early in pursuit of other interests especially professional football which she was good at.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI dropped out of JSS because my parents were unable to finance my education. I don\u2019t have a certificate even though I wish I had\u201d she disclosed to the shock of students at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) during this year\u2019s edition of \u2018Tek Talk\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Though she observed that it has remained one of the major challenges in her life, it does not suggest the end of life as she appears to be doing well in other areas. She however hinted of plans to further her education in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t have the degree or the educational certificates but I will do them some day. I want to use this opportunity to urge you not to allow challenges like this to weigh you down. Be yourself and do not strive to be like Nana Ama McBrown because you will remain in my shadow if you want to be like me\u201d, she advised.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 48 updated by: 48 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Thursday, 14 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-14 Ghanaian actress and music writer, Felicity Ama Agyemang known as Nana Ama McBrown Renowned Ghanaian actress and music writer, Felicity Ama Agyemang known as Nana Ama McBrown has confessed dropping out of School in JSS 2 in view of the challenges at the time though she [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":446959,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-446957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I dropped out of school in JSS 2 - Nana Ama McBrown reveals - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2017\/12\/14\/i-dropped-out-of-school-in-jss-2-nana-ama-mcbrown-reveals\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"I dropped out of school in JSS 2 - Nana Ama McBrown reveals - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"Entertainment of Thursday, 14 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-14 Ghanaian actress and music writer, Felicity Ama Agyemang known as Nana Ama McBrown Renowned Ghanaian actress and music writer, Felicity Ama Agyemang known as Nana Ama McBrown has confessed dropping out of School in JSS 2 in view of the challenges at the time though she [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/14\\\/i-dropped-out-of-school-in-jss-2-nana-ama-mcbrown-reveals\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/14\\\/i-dropped-out-of-school-in-jss-2-nana-ama-mcbrown-reveals\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"I dropped out of school in JSS 2 &#8211;
