Ethiopia Is A Country Worth Fighting For

God told me no one deserves to suffer and fighting for my country and their happiness is worth it.

Ethiopia Is A Country Worth Fighting For

A wonderful country named Ethiopia located in Africa is being damaged and overthrown by people who are killing innocent people for no apparent reason. Lives have been lost, families have been worried and walking by foot to other countries. My mother and father both love their home very much. Not a day goes by where they don't think about their home or families. Our whole family dream is to go back to Ethiopia and make better changes -- changes for young children, adults, and elders so they can live a happier life more than ever. See the thing is, our country isn't peaceful or non-violent, but it is torn.

Since the beginning of the year in Washington, D.C., protests have been taken into action in some way. But the protests that have been occurring within the year have less action than we Ethiopians expected. As an adult, I feel it is my duty to be a part of the greater change in my country. So, when push comes to shove, you -- yes, you -- have to get through it no matter the obstacles. Not only in D.C. but other states have been taking action and protesting. The thing about protesting is, it usually doesn't work, knowing from experience of course. About a few years back, all of Ethiopia had an unexpected turn where everything changed for the worse. God has a way for all of this to go away, making Ethiopia whole again.

You know what's worth fighting for when you put your heart into it 100%. When I put my heart into something that is worth it, I do my best to find the better outcome. There are youth organizations all over the globe trying to find ways to make Ethiopia great again. Just because Ethiopia is being overthrown by bad people doesn't mean the hopes of others are gone. The spirit of Ethiopia still lives no matter if the country changed.

A country worth fighting for is something I love doing. An Interesting fact is, I want to become a social worker. My interest from the start is to help people. Seeing people all over the world care so much for such innocent people makes me so happy. A country worth fighting for can make a difference for us all. God doesn't put us through failure for no reason. He puts us through these obstacles for a reason, which I believe is an outstanding and wonderful thing. Again, a country worth fighting for is a country worth fighting for with God. I will never give up on a dream my whole family has wanted for so long.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
