You gave birth to a star- a star with so much potential. You’ve encouraged me to take a leap of faith and exceed my expectations. You threw me in the deep end and forced me to learn how to swim. You taught me how to fight for my dreams- how to take responsibility for my life. Your love for me- gave me the gift of education. You’ve valued me enough and gave me a chance to be a better person. Because of you, I acquired new knowledge. Because of you, I learnt how to grab opportunities with both hands. Because of you- I am who I am today: ambitious- resilient- educated.
For years I had nothing positive to say about you. I turned a blind eye to the love you’ve shown me over the years. I was quick to judge you- pin pointing your ALL flaws. I criticised you for your mistakes- however big or small. I never said “well done” to the goals you’ve achieved. I never said thank you for the opportunities you’ve given me, instead I blamed you for those you didn’t give me.
I am sorry for being unappreciative. I am sorry for not loving you the way you deserve to be loved. I am sorry for never saying thank you. I am sorry for not appreciating you for who you are.
The time for us to love our country is here. It is time we stop complaining about our country’s flaws and start becoming contributions. It is time we stop criticising its mistakes and offer suggestions that will move us forward. It is time we stop comparing this country to other countries and start creating opportunities that will change our future. All our complaining is not going to bring change.
Let us become the change we want to see in our country.
Yours Sincerely
Tokiso
