Banechayehu Wale

bane

I am the daughter of Mr Wale Zeewde and Mrs Yeserash Dellel, was born on May 12th 1986 (Ethiopian date), in Kebel Shelel Bemeit in Amannuael town.
I lost my mother at the age of five. While living with my father, at the age of 7,I entered 1st grade at Shelal Primary school. When i entered 4th grade, I lost my father in a horrific way. Having a younger brother to look after it was a struggle to live our lives and everything seemed dark.
As a result I quit school for a year. As we could not even fulfill our basic necessities with our lives, we were taken in by our uncle. I was allowed to re-start school. Even though I started school again, due to heavy workload I was not able to focus on my school work. My grades started to drop and I started crying and feeling like I had no hope for my life.
After struggling all the way to 8th grade I discovered that there as no secondary school in my town, so I came to Amanuael. Consequently, I heard a call to register to a school for orphans and gladly registered. After making into the school I came to Debre Macros.
After moving to the school, I am now living a much better life than before. I can now talk about my past as history. I wish to study hard for my future and after school work as a professional for a governmental body and wish for a better life.
Thank you, Help a Life.
