I come from a typical family consisting of four of us; my mom, dad, sister and myself. Throughout my child hood my dad always worked and never struggled to put food in the table. Likewise I was never bullied in school or treated unfairly due to my ethnicity or religion. My point here is that I don't come from a world where I had to struggle due to something outside of my control but instead to overcome something. However that does not mean that I was never challenged or had to overcome an obstacle. Instead I was challenged in other ways and the challenge that always seemed to come up over and over again was a seemingly simple one that was how to keep myself motivate through some times.

    It was the second week middle school when my band teacher had asked for me to stay after class: “Rachel you should think about quitting the band.” At that moment, I had felt my mind go blank; I was devastated. I had always known I was a bit behind in learning the notes and developing the sound of my tone; however, I had never once thought about quitting band. I loved music; just turning on the radio brightened my mood. I felt impatient in my other classes, waiting until I could go and pick up my instrument.…

    Being an immigrant from a country experiencing issues like health outbreaks, an unjust government, and a disastrous economy has had a negative impact on my education here in the United states. I came from Ethiopia to Minnesota when I was seven years old and at the time mass shootings operated by the government were a norm in Ethiopia. I remember walking to school with my sister and hearing gunshots in the distance followed by adults dragging us into their houses for protection. I also remember watching the news and seeing protesters getting beat with batons by soldiers. Life was extremely difficult for both my parents and I. Now that I am in America, I am thankful everyday that my sister, parents and I escaped the horrid reality of living in Ethiopia.…

    As a child, the world to me was a place with elusive networks of dirt roads. The small, dirty, square shaped, concrete houses provided shade and comfort from the heat that bounced off the streets causing a mirage of wavering images. The streets were filled with honks from countless motorcycles and rickshaws. Hearing similar dialogues and accents as the people argued for cheaper pomegranates from the food stands located at the corner of the streets. This place of dirt networks, flat-roofed houses, and loud, crowded streets was where I grew up.…
