World’s Best Injera

Waiting for school to end, five, four, three, two ,one, beeeeep, summer officially started. Temperatures reaching 80-90 degrees, people walking around with nearly nothing on, men with shorts and underwear and girls with bikinis. As I’m walking through the hallway I see mixed emotions, people who are crying, who don’t want to leave their friends then there’s people who just run out the door with excitement and don’t bother to look back to say goodbye. So shocked in everything from the first day, when people are finessing their new cloth and shoes, to finals, where people are stressing about their grades, “Do you think I can reach that A+ if I do some extra credit,” Students tend to ask, everything goes by so quickly. This summer my plan is to hit the weight room and work on my game so I can play varsity the following season. That was all ruined two days into summer, when my mother and father decided to go to Ethiopia. My hopes and dreams for the summer were destroyed. I had no choice but to take advantage of my free time and make this the best summer ever. I asked my cousin about Ethiopia since it was my first time visiting there. “you have to the Injera from

It's about a 10 minute walk from our house, it's really busy with thousands of customer per day. By 2:00 people are lining just to eat injera, there’s not a menu, they only make two types of injera with different toppings. The thin dough taste like sweet and sour bread, best I ever tried.

    Wise Money Choices + College Costs = Minimal Stress I cannot believe I have made it this far this quickly. It feels like just yesterday when I was accepting my diploma from Mr. Salvatore, my middle school principal and crying while hugging friends who I knew would be attending a different high school than I. Then, on that hot September day, walking through what I thought must have been the biggest school in the state of New Jersey, I got lost, made new friends, and college was but a dwarfed blip on my radar, far, far away from the center of my mind. Subsequently, in tenth grade, Union High School became smaller and my excitement for graduation was planted by the upperclassmen’s conversations about the upcoming prom and graduation.…

    I live day to day, going through the works: wake up at the ungodly hour of six A.M., make it through my classes, two hours of volleyball, finally go home, repeat. But, in between all of the rushing, the yelling, the stress of high school, is when I get to relax. It’s when I get to forget about school, or as I call it “college auditions” and when I can just have a nice time without having to weigh the pros and cons of every thing I do. Every day, after the last bell rings, I navigate through the throngs of intimidating upperclassmen. It’s like The Hunger Games, stay calm, keep your head down, and try not to piss anyone off.…

    I fling myself on the bed, finally able to relax. I have not just faced certain death from a wild African beast or crazed Ndebele tribesman, I have just finished dinner. It is 9pm, I have retired to my rondavel, to another lonely night after a luscious dinner of roast kudu, in a rich brown gravy accompanied by three vegetables from the farm garden. Desert was steamed golden syrup pudding and custard. The food was great, the meal atmosphere, for me, as always, a little tense.…
