Born in the wee hours of June 23, 1992, I made my way out of my mother no more than ten minutes after 12am. I was born Melat M. Begashaw from Mekonnen Begashaw and Mertalem Takele, as the second daughter to the family.
-
The family's first house was bought right in the middle of the Valley. Sometimes I wish we never moved out here...but who knows what I would have been like if I didn't...
-
...where I had a billion crushes! To think that I actually went to this school makes me chuckle.
-
Little did I know then that I was actually going to stay here for the next eight years...
-
A sad day in history :/ I remember being in homeroom, watching the news on TV. I will never forget it. I had no idea what the World Trade Center was, but I realized America would never be the same.
-
This vacation will NEVER be beat. I had the absolute best time in Ethiopia. Thanks to my Aunt Martie and all of her VIP treatment in Addis, my family and I were shown the time of our lives.
-
One of the best times of my life, and it definitely was because of the people I spent it with. I roomed with Marianna, Irene, Erica, and Sloane. SO MANY MEMORIES! Memories that will last a lifetime.
-
A fun filled week where I saw friends everyday and met new people.
-
One of the BEST times of my life! An educational experience that changed my life. I met some of the best people. It was also an a program for African American students, so I was able to relate to everyone there!
-
AKA Akuye Kiya. My grandmother came from Ethiopia to visit us for about five months. It was a great time. I miss her terribly. She is SO cute!
-
It was a goal of mine to work here...and I accomplished it.
-
The most anticipated year of my life!
-
...in other words, THE BEST DAY EVER! I can not wait for this day to come. It is the highest anticipated day ever. I CAN NOT WAIT!
-
THE month which in my fate is decided. UCLA or no UCLA? Ugh :/
-
I plan to get married by 27 years of age if not when I AM 27. This is the perfect age of settling down!
-
I must wait at least a year or two before I have a child with my husband. After that alone time spent together after marriage, I want a baby, no later than thirty.
