Activities
[I consider myself a very athletic person having participated in various sports and competitions my whole
life. Some of which include Varsity volleyball and Football for my high school and university teams. I
have also tried golf, tennis and track and field. I have earned several medals in said activities as well as
experience. I played all types of sports regardless of whether they required individual effort or group
effort and, having played them from such a young age, they have built my character in a way that I can
have my individuality but at the same time work well with others. I have a more dynamic side when it
comes to music. As I do enjoy some of the mainstream tastes, I have played a few instruments (Clarinet
and Trumpet) and have performed in musicals and concerts and prefer the aspect of participating in the
music. My most rewarding activity I would have to say was working with charities. Having grown up in
the international community of Addis Ababa, I’ve seen many distasteful things, poverty beyond belief.
One can only be so thankful for how his or her life turned out. In my school years I joined several causes
to work with charities dealing with children, rape victims, homeless people, ill people and that experience
was without a doubt the most rewarding. The feeling of helping someone in need, although arguably
selfish, is one that everybody should one day feel. It has built my character to be tolerable, patient and
more caring towards anyone and everyone. These were more than memorable experiences and I wish
to one day after my formative years constantly be involved with causes like this, maybe even start a few
of my own charities in different countries]
