That's all
Naho you are absolutely right, but my childhood experience and changing of schools made me little less emotional. My father had to move a lot within in country, being in Military he was to move every two to three years. So all my life in never developed enough association with a place coz I knew that one day I had to leave. Just like the philosophy of life, one day we have to go :-) anyway, I remember my first school change; it was in 3rd grade – was old enough to remember things. First time I cried for leaving my friends, than in 5th grade, I was sad for leaving friends. Than in 8th grade was happy to go to new school ( as it was co-ed) than when I was leaving my high school I was so busy thinking about what career to choose I did not think at all about the leaving friends and my college.
My first Job, I remember when I resigned I was again sad, thought I might never have such an excellent team to work with, I made many friends. But I was wrong, every time I went to new place I always find good friends. If we look at the positive side of leaving a place for new one, there is always opportunity of making new friends.
When I left Sudan last time, I really was sad. I had a lot of association with the place I worked, the colleagues, the national colleagues, the restaurants, the people I know.
But interestingly, as I am getting close to my departure date the only thing I can associate Liberia with are my non Liberian friends, that’s all. I do not want to be rude here, but over the period of two year I could not develop trust on single Liberian. Its very sad and sometime I feel bad. But in the end we all tried our best, I know I did my best, but some how the other, I do not have any association with Liberia. It was just a place I worked.
