At first I never held any high regard for my country, I dreamt of MYSELF. I never bothered to take a second glance at the children roaming the streets outside my house or never attempted to ask why unemployment or illiteracy never seemed to fade. Reality began to sink in as more learning took place thus changing my initial thoughts of selfishness to selfless. I realized more and more than that it was attitude such as mine that contributed towards the vast disparity of inequality between the rich and poor.
More so as I took a closer look I felt more and more ownership over my country because been a citizen everything that happens is reflective of me as well. I’m happy to say with time and experience I’ve developed a profound sense of appreciation over my homeland. And it’s always become a norm that whenever my eyes catches a glimpse of the PNG Flag or when I travel overseas I carry with me pride over been a Papua New Guinean.
