| <blockquote>I have to hold on to the fact that I have my own life, and I have duties that I have to perform. I have a family to take care of. But I also have the same calling I did when I was young: to nourish and to do the work that I believe I was given the possibility to do. I’m not going to let anything shake that faith, no matter what kind of rubble or debris of our time I have to walk through. . . . I’m just going to keep doing my work.
