Actress Martha Ankomah says she is
grateful to God that she did not end up a bad girl or wayward though it
was easy growing up facing financial crisis.
She said this in an interview with www.mygong.net.
Read the interview below;
PAM: Can you take me through schools you have attended?
MARTHA: I completed Adabraka
Presbyterian Junior High School. Then I attended Labone Senior High
School and finally Jayee University College where I did Marketing as a
course.
PAM: How did Acting start for you?
MARTHA: I was introduced into acting by a cousin at a
very tender age. This cousin of mine called Harry Amonoo took me to the
National Theatre in 1994 there about where I joined the Harrisco Drama
Group and started stage drama in Funworld and Kiddafest . When I went to
Senior High School I also joined the Theatre Programme for Schools
(TPS), where we were doing stage drama for Senior High Schools. After
the stage drama, I started doing series like St. James Hotel, Where is
your Mobile? All that glitters, Suncity and others. Acting became
something that I was developing a passion for so whenever I heard of any
auditions I go and try my luck.
PAM: How was life for you and your siblings when your mother became a single parent?
MARTHA: It wasn’t easy. You have to help her
(Mother). You just needed to be a good girl to help your mom-you have to
be self-discipline so when she asks you to carry something on your head
to go and sell, you don’t have to shout or say you’re shy. You just
have to do it because you know you’re helping your family.
And me being the first born I had no choice than to help and I thank
God so much that I didn’t go wayward- I didn’t end up as a bad girl
during those trying moments. I just realized that it was an opportunity
to learn the hard way of life and it has really helped me, though it was
difficult at the beginning but God being so good something good came
out of it.
