Writing for TwoCents has been like finding my people—a place where sharing my thoughts actually matters! Not only do I get to dive deep into topics I'm passionate about, but I also get real support from readers through tips and subscriptions.
Plus, the connections I've made with other African creators are incredible. It's not just a place to publish; it's a community where your voice can actually make waves (and earn a few coins while you're at it!). TwoCents has turned my random musings into meaningful conversations

More than two years later, I still feel the same, the space offers more than just nuggets of wisdom here and there, you can get inspired and even channel your creativity in a great way. There's so much TwoCents has to offer and I can't wait to see what it blossoms into🌸

I've known I wanted to go to Stanford since I was 11 years old when I read a book that said something like "having a degree from Stanford University is a big deal." From then on I had an almost problematic obsession with doing well in everything so that I would be admitted.Because I knew I wanted to go there, I worked really hard in high school to stand out from my classmates.
I went to a moderately wealthy high school, and competing academically and socially with people that have access to generational wealth takes strategy. I chose to take on 2-3 extracurriculars each year. Freshman year I was the president of the freshman class and captain of the freshman basketball team and played volleyball, Sophomore year I was a chair in the same student government, on varsity basketball and JV volleyball, and participated in the competitive mathematics club. Junior year I cranked up the AP courses, taking essentially everything AP, still playing on Varsity Basketball and Volleyball. Senior year I was captain of the Basketball team along with my other extracurriculars and APs.
There probably were other things, as this was over a decade ago. In terms of academic performance, I was ranked #8 in my class upon graduation with above a 4.8 GPA.Even though I had a strong record, I was still nervous to apply, and so I decided to apply to the Restrictive Early Action round, which means you cannot apply early to any other school, although you are not forced to attend upon acceptance. Luckily I was accepted, and decided to not apply to any other school
While I put myself in a good position to be accepted, nobody else at my school was, including those that had better academic records than me. This could be because of my application essay, in which I told the story of why I have 9 siblings in my family and how that has helped me grow as a person. I think the academic performance and the uniqueness of my story were helpful in standing out from the crowd of perfect transcripts.

Hi Cyrus, I'm unable to talk much about my work at Apple but I am currently developing new ways to leverage Responsible AI methodologies in health sensing applications. At Microsoft Research, I developed domain-specific computational models for bacterial quorum sensing which is how bacteria communicate with each other.I would say that the current state of AI is pretty advanced with regards to the specific techniques but many of these implementations are not production-level ready or haven't been tested in real-life clinical settings to actually be of any use. Yes, what you described is possible but there still remain many issues with bias in these and other types of applications.

Just like life, politics largely gives you what you negotiate for. One important ability needed for negotiation is the ability to listen. To be able to respond rightly, you need to listen rightly. Thinking ability is equally important because you need to critically weigh options in the course of negotiation. Self confidence can also make the other party believe in your judgement and accept.

How many fishers will be ready to tell you, fishing at large scale is very profitable?
How many even in your environment will consistently encourage and mentor you to gain more.
The role of an engineer, beyond his analytical sense and political ambitions is that of developing substantial growth even low scale.
As a computer engineer (that's how you ought to be addressed even by yourself: the consciousness of who you are) no one hinders you from developing programs and tools to solve issues in your community. Renewable energies utilisation could be part of it.
Have you ever thought of how in coaction with other engineers around you, you could mobilise waste resources in Buea to make it active?
What of developing plants which will assist the women along the Muea market to easily wash their fish for example?
What of extension to use streams, to generate electricity for Student hostels or automation of water plants in student hostels.
Your question shows you have interest in solving Education and Health issues?
What plans have you taken towards that? If you do consistently, the same funding agencies will come to you, then we could assess your loyalty to solve Africa's problems with your skills.
The earlier we stop the blame game, the better.
You might also want to host a session which people who share interest in your field. This particular session comes from a public demand to elucidate with persons having interest in renewable energies.

HR is threatened same way as other departments. With improvements in technology, creation of shared services, outsourcing, integration of processes etc, headcount will mostly be affected.As individuals, whether in HR or other departments, we need to always prepare for tomorrow. Learn new things, manage our resources well, be open to new challenges,etc

For example; female genital mutilation (FGM) is one of the most prevalent harmful practices against women and girls.
It is on record 80 percent of this form of rights abuse on women and young girls happen in Africa, with Somalia being the highest with about 98 % their girls having undergone such a gruesome experience. There are some Cameroon's ethnic groups that believe in FGM as a means to keep women faithful to their husbands , reduction of sexual immorality among women, removal of sexual ambiguity and improving genital esthetics .
This practice use to be common with the Ejagham tribe(where I come from) in the South West region of Cameroon.
Reliable information equally hold that , about 20%of girls in some communities around Kouserri were circumcised on 2010 , but by 2015, it dropped to about 2% and unfortunately went up to about 10% by 2018.
Other passive examples could be found around the Northwest Region where a widow and children are deprived of property left by their deceased father. Fortunately the is a recent penal legislation in Cameroon that protects widows in this regard .
Thirdly cultural norms where a widow is forced (against her will) to marry her deceased husband's brother(this can commonly be found around the Northwest Region of Cameroon) etc etc .

Hi Israel,
That's a good question. As the world opens up, we're also thinking about different event formats.
While I'm not sure we might follow the townhall format, we have a few events lined up this year, there's even going to be one relating to the content creation, so watch out for that.
