No Diplomat

Lately I feel the weight of being a US Ambassador thrust upon my shoulders, yet I resist most political discussions and outbursts of American patriotism, because the current political climate seems to generally define me as an American before I can be defined as a person, if I can be defined at all. I have lived in an environment shrouded in secrecy and lies, and for a long time, I lived complacently as such, and my silence now is unparalleled embarassment for my lack of knowledge in this arena. I feel that my duty above all things is to simply be myself…because that to me is the best way I can represent my country, proving to others that random acts of kindness, generousity, humility, and a non-judgmental attitude are things that Americans can and do possess.
