I love challenging myself by exploring new things, which helps me grow as a person. This is reflected in activities I've engaged in, such as street photography where I waited an hour to get the perfect shot of a priest randomly entering my frame. I also challenged myself by running for and winning the local presidency of AIESEC after two months of preparation. Attending an international youth conference in Poland where I interacted with delegates from over 100 countries was another amazing experience I worked hard to participate in, struggling to get my passport and visa.

1. WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE US
TO KNOW THAT IS NOT IN YOUR
RESUME OR APPLICATION?

2. I love challenging myself, exploring and
learning new things. I believe that helps me
to widen my horizon of thinking, discover
more people and cultures, recognize my
blind spots and to just grow as a person.

3. This is reflected in previous
activities I have been engaged.
The next slides will demonstrate
some of them.

4. I took this picture when I was a part of a street
photography walk. While we were walking in the
old town of Addis Abeba and taking photos,
I found these yellow background frame you see. I
really liked the frame hence I decided to challenge
myself. I stopped following the group and stayed
at the place to wait for a person to come in
naturally to the frame and take a shot. I started
taking pictures but the perfect shot happened after
one hour waiting's when the priest who was just
passing by the pedestrian way somehow turned
around randomly and I got it in the shot. It seems
like I actually asked the person to stand for me. In
the end, the challenge was rewarded with an
interesting photo.
Some more pictures I took!

5. That is a face and energy after I
won an election to be local
chapter president of AIESEC in
my university after 2 months of
preparation, an intense
assessment week and final
speeches before members
casted a vote. That year turned
out to be one of the most
amazing year of my life where
my limits tested continuously ,
experienced a lot, won many
wins and lost some battles but
grow immensely over all.
Yes, in AIESEC tradition, you know you got it when a water
bucket is poured at your head. It is not ice bucket challenge.

6. POLAND – At the highest hills of Kraków
just after finishing attending an international
youth conference where delegates from 100+
countries came. It was amazing experience to
interact with delegates from diverse
professional and cultural background. This
experience was unique also because I struggled
to be able to attend the conference. I had to
find a sponsor to cover my travel expense and I
had to get my Passport and visa issued twice as
I unfortunately, lost my passport after visa was
issued initially.

7. India - Dining at
Chinese restaurant
together with friends
from China, Spain and
India.
Even though Chinese food was strange to me
generally, eating a sea squirt was the hardest
part as I grow up in a very conservative
Ethiopian family where eating these kind foods
is a taboo.

8. In Kenya , I was
doing high rope
activities where
I was able to
fight my fear of
height.
