“I have to admit I have thought about leaving. I’ve thought, I’ve got to go. But I also think I’m not going to buy a solution for everything by leaving. When I leave, my efforts, my strengths, my self-esteem, my values—these I will have to sacrifice. Why don’t I stay and contribute to my own country, not spend my effort to fill someone else’s pockets? Why don’t I give what I can give of myself to my own people?”
