However I do believe it is more important to be self-motivated, even during hardship. You got to be able to get back up on your own because friends may not be able to support you all the time. Thank you!

I am glad I was able to inspire you. I love your commitment to the African cause. So many people are not aware of how bad the situation is out there. I really appreciate your hard work.
