We are surrounded by many different beautiful things, even though in our world there are contrast or ugliness for the beautiful things. People may have their different views for their choice of their most beautiful things. I think the most beautiful thing for me is the Blue Nile waterfall, which is located in the northern part of Ethiopia. When I visited this place a few times I was amazed by the view of the waterfall itself and the landscape around the river.
I was very young when I left Mexico. I flew from Mexico to Los Angeles, California. My brother was waiting for me in the airport. He’s been living in this country for 20 years. When I was in California for these three days, I really enjoyed it because he brought me to this nice restaurant where they serve the best food from my town in Mexico.

Mexican families have a lot of traditions, but one of the most important is when you celebrate every girl’s Sweet 15 birthday. In Spanish, she is called quinceañera.

I was born in Ethiopia, the country located in East Africa. There are many different cultures and traditions in Ethiopia. I adapted some of the various cultures from my family and also from people I lived with. Some parts of Ethiopian cultures that express my identity and life style are my communication, my religion and social activity.

Everybody has his or her own culture. Culture is the way human beings live for a long time in a certain area. This means the way people eat, what they eat, what they use for life, what kind of clothes they wear and what kind of religion they follow. Culture is made up of many things such as language, clothes, food, religion, music, tradition and celebration. In the culture, the language is the most important for me.
The most beautiful place I have ever seen was the western savannah in Somalia.
