Ghanaian gospel music sensation Diana Asamoah revealed that she was once a pupil teacher before venturing into music.
According to the ‘Tetelesta’ hitmaker, her father, who was also a
teacher, influenced her career path after completing her elementary education
in 1987.
Speaking during an exclusive interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz
FM’s Daybreak Hitz, the renowned singer made it known that though she was not
fluent in English, she taught the English Language subject, Geography, Twi and
other subjects at St Monica’s School.
“When I completed school my father wanted me to learn how to sew
clothes in Kumasi but he had not bought the sewing machine and other things I
needed at that time so I thought of selling beans, soap and other items.
However, he did not like the idea of me moving around people’s houses to sell.
He feared that I could be raped. So I had to look for something else and then I
ended up being a pupil’s teacher,” he said.
Interestingly, the singer divulged that none of the pupils she
taught failed in their examinations.
