Where I born?
My name is Ibrahim originally from East Africa,Ethiopia at a village called Haro specifically here on google map. I have three sisters and two brothers. I am the youngest in the family.When I was 1 ½ years old my father died. Haro (a village where I was born ) is a rural part of Ethiopia where electricity is not available.Still now my mother lives there and uses firewood for cooking
Education
In 2000G.C I enrolled in grade one. I attend from grade one to grade six at Taye elementary school which is approximately 1.5mile(30 minutes walk) from my home.But when I completed grade six ;there is no school near our village ,except Lemi secondary school(which I attended grade seven and grade eight ) which is approximately 3mile(an hour walk) away from home. When I joined grade nine ,it was impossible to walk everyday to school from my home.So I have to live nearby the school (Wegedi high school) But every weekend and every break time I go home to help my family (farming ,cattleing). Below in the table you can see my educational flow.
