THIS COUNTRY
By Mildred Nurse
Mildred was born in Guyana. She remembers landing in Trinidad from where she got the boat to England, which they called the "mother country". As their mother country, England was in charge of them, and took a lot from Guyana, like gold, diamonds and wood, leaving them nothing. After leaving them nothing, they gave them independence, so she and her fellow travellers all left in search of a change. That's why she and her friends will stay here until they're old.
