Ethiopia Is A Country Worth Fighting For

God told me no one deserves to suffer and fighting for my country and their happiness is worth it.

Ethiopia Is A Country Worth Fighting For
www.nubianplanet.com

A wonderful country named Ethiopia located in Africa is being damaged and overthrown by people who are killing innocent people for no apparent reason. Lives have been lost, families have been worried and walking by foot to other countries. My mother and father both love their home very much. Not a day goes by where they don't think about their home or families. Our whole family dream is to go back to Ethiopia and make better changes -- changes for young children, adults, and elders so they can live a happier life more than ever. See the thing is, our country isn't peaceful or non-violent, but it is torn.

Since the beginning of the year in Washington, D.C., protests have been taken into action in some way. But the protests that have been occurring within the year have less action than we Ethiopians expected. As an adult, I feel it is my duty to be a part of the greater change in my country. So, when push comes to shove, you -- yes, you -- have to get through it no matter the obstacles. Not only in D.C. but other states have been taking action and protesting. The thing about protesting is, it usually doesn't work, knowing from experience of course. About a few years back, all of Ethiopia had an unexpected turn where everything changed for the worse. God has a way for all of this to go away, making Ethiopia whole again.

You know what's worth fighting for when you put your heart into it 100%. When I put my heart into something that is worth it, I do my best to find the better outcome. There are youth organizations all over the globe trying to find ways to make Ethiopia great again. Just because Ethiopia is being overthrown by bad people doesn't mean the hopes of others are gone. The spirit of Ethiopia still lives no matter if the country changed.

A country worth fighting for is something I love doing. An Interesting fact is, I want to become a social worker. My interest from the start is to help people. Seeing people all over the world care so much for such innocent people makes me so happy. A country worth fighting for can make a difference for us all. God doesn't put us through failure for no reason. He puts us through these obstacles for a reason, which I believe is an outstanding and wonderful thing. Again, a country worth fighting for is a country worth fighting for with God. I will never give up on a dream my whole family has wanted for so long.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
