Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. - Norman Vincent Peale

In life, there are times where some well-educated individuals with their Degrees and PhD’s, finds it very difficult to associate themselves in the society they live in because of their low self-esteem and the composition of their personality.

Many are those intellectuals in societies, who can write their thesis but yet still they find it very difficult to stand on public platforms to present their ideas for it to be accepted.

These were the stories of some delegates who participated in this year’s “Ghana’s Most Beautiful” (GMB) beauty pageant which was organized by TV3 Network. If you watched these years GMB, then I trust you are much acquainted with Nana – one of the contestants.

In an interview she said “you didn’t see me earlier so you cannot see the changes in me. I was a ‘tomboy’. The way I used to dress in my jackets, style my natural hair and walk, you will go like, is she a lady? But I have been transformed to a real lady after my grooming during the pageant”.

Achawa who represented the Greater Accra Region said “I owe my chaperone a lot because I came into the competition with the name ‘Naa’ and after I told her about my project she advised me to change my name to ‘Achawa’. I was in the conference room looking at her and said to myself this woman ‘paaa ah!’

But when the competition went on, I realized it was an awesome name because everywhere I got to, everyone goes like Achawa, Achawa”. She concluded by saying "Miss Nancy is a wonderful woman because I took her advice and it worked for me".

Lamin also revealed that, she was a very quiet and reserved lady but she was told by her chaperone that being quiet and reserved does not make one a lady but being bubbly and able to receive people makes you a lady.

Miss Nancy Adobea Anane (Chaperone and personal groomer for 2014 GMB) lived with the delegates, educated and groomed them and they are who they are now.
