Addis Ababa

and me that we might be coming to America. To me, this place was a fantasy, most of the wonderful things I heard seems so unreal. I haven’t even been to any cities in Ethiopia in my life, but I am moving to America. I was beyond excited and happy, to know that I will be reunited with the rest of my family. I was excited that I will for the first time get a solid education. I was excited to know that my life in America will be more than a stay home mother. I was excited to know that women have the same opportunity as men in America. For the most part, I was excited because my life change for the better. December 31, 2008, was the day we deported from Ethiopia to America. To me coming from a village without electricity and running water, Addis Ababa the capital of Ethiopia was America to me. It was an overwhelming experience my brothers and I had. There are moments where I wish I could relieve. Like that instant when I first got into a motor vehicle, and I knew that was it. That moment I was never going to feel that way again, my heart pounded with excitement as I took my first step into the vehicle. Motor vehicles only existed in my dreams and imagination; It’s like a dream coming true. What made this moment so unforgettable was seeing my siblings smiling from ear to ear. I knew our journey to America has begun, and I can feel a jolt of excitement coming to me. When we arrived at the airport, that was my first time seeing a person with different race than me. I saw a white…

After some self reflection, it’s without a doubt my personality has been shaped from how I was brought up and those who were around me as a child. To give you some background, I was born in Addis Abebe, Ethiopia. My father passed away when I was at the age of 3 and my older sister at 5, leaving my mother as a single parent.

embark on such a journey gave me the authority to delve within myself and discover who I truly was as an individual. The heart of Addis Ababa resembled a fire, black and gloomy, casted with air pollutants and fog. When I first stepped into Ethiopia, I was appalled. Back in America, it wasn’t as if I were seeing children around my age living on the streets, with no one to care for them. The children were naked; they had dust all over their faces and bugs crawling on them. My days consisted of…

Ethiopian music (Falceto, 2005). It was not until the late 19th century that foreign musical instruments, mainly brass instruments, began sharing the stage with Ethiopian instruments; and even then, these foreign instruments only gradually gained their roles within Ethiopian music and ensembles (Zegeye 131).
