Background

I was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia  in Oct,11,1984. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters

I lived in a village called "Megenagna" which means a place where people meet.

When I was 5, I started my elementary education; I did not go to kindergarten

because my mom was a teacher so I learned all the basics at home.

I learned my elementary and junior high school at MISRAK BER Number 1 school, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia  (1989-1997) where my mother was teaching and it was only 5 min walk from our house. I would really like to thank all my teachers there for their effort to help me become a better person.

I finished my high school at BOLE Senior Secondary School Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (1997-2001) this one was far from our house, about one hour walk. We sometimes walk the whole way but most of the time we were using the bus (42). There also I met the wonderful teachers encouraging me to do my best.

My best gratitude goes to you also my teachers. Thank you!!!!!
