Zimbabwe, My country

My name is Tinacho Chitongo. I am a Junior from Harare, Zimbabwe. I was born and raised there and I only left my country for college. I have had the misfortune of watching my own country experience one of the most spectacular declines of any modern nation. Zimbabwe is a place where people take pride in their identity and history. I was raised to respect my elders and to always give people their due credit. The lack of robust leadership in my country has betrayed the principles that are the foundation of the society. I am still proud of being Zimbabwe, and every day I look to represent my country as best as I can. The crisis in Zimbabwe spurs me on to achieve more and more so that I can be in a position to help make a difference in the lives of those suffering back home. I believe that one day things will change and Zimbabweans will once again have leaders they can be proud off. People in Zimbabwe face each day on a hope similar to this. Without hope there is no reason to continue with the bleak situation in Zimbabwe. People are not going to lie down and accept the circumstances, character has been shown in the face of difficulty!
