A few days ago,I talked with Dr.K,and understood so many things about education,culture and security in Liberia.

   I wondered why there are so many kids not going to school.And I asked if the tuition is high.Dr.K told me that the school fee is very low in public schools,they don’t want to study because they are lazy.In Liberia,the tuition in private school is high,but the tuition in public school is very low.He went to public schools from elementary school to high school,then he went to University of Liberia which he could afford it,his major was biology.After graduated from University of Liberia,he got a bachelor’s degree,and then entered medical school of UL.He asked me how much do you think the tuition for medical school?To my surprise,it was free!I couldn’t understand.I asked him,if the tuition was free,maybe many students applied for medical school.He said,that did not happen,only a few students wanted to study in medical school because you could go to work and got a pretty good salary after graduation from UL instead of studying hard for another 5 years.Now he is an intern in JFK hospital,his salary is about 300 USD after tax.

   Dr.K told me that Liberian are very lazy,the farmers in distant county don’t want to produce rice and vegetables,instead they went to Monrovia and worked to earn small money,then they bought some rice and went back home.No one wants to work in Liberia,so he cann’t imagine the future of Liberia.

   I asked his opinion about the religious crisis in Lofa county.He said that the incident was actually a tribe conflict.One of the two tribes believed in Muslim,the other believed in Chirstian.I asked him why they still killed others even they worship God.He said because they pretended to be a good man.A man who really worships God won’t kill others.

  Liberia,a beautiful but undeveloped country,it needs our help,especially in mind.
