One Has To Look At My Life

Ebola Is Not Just A Health Crisis. Across West Africa, A Generation Of Young People Risks Being Lost To An Economic Catastrophe.

I Work Hard, I Work Late, I Have Nothing On My Conscience. When I Go To Bed, I Sleep.

The People Of Liberia Know What It Means To Be Deprived Of Clean Water. But We Also Know What It Means To See Our Children Begin To Smile Again, With A Restoration Of Hope And Faith In The Future.

Liberia Has To Take Primary Responsibility For Its Own Reform Agenda. But Our Resources Are Limited. We Have To Attract The Private Sector To Get Jobs To Our People That Will Enable Us To Raise The Government Revenue, But To Do That We Have To Build Infrastructure. It's A Very Complex Problem Of Development We Are Facing Here.

Of Course, I Am The First Democratically Elected Woman President In Africa, And That Raises A Lot Of Expectations. Because I Represent The Aspirations Of Women All Over Africa, I Must Succeed For Them. I Must Keep The Door Open For Women's Participation In Politics At The Highest Level. That Is Both Humbling And Exciting.
