[Liberian Observer] As a son of Nimba County, my roots are deeply planted in its soil. I began school in Ganta, continued in Mehnla, Tappita, and completed high school in Sanniquellie. In 1980, I proudly served as President of the Nimba County Students Association at the University of Liberia. These experiences gave me a first-hand understanding of the county's diversity, strength, and promise--and it is from that deep well of commitment that I write this article.
