Austin, Texas. She has a big family. Her mother is working at business office, and her 3

sisters and 1 of her brothers are living in north Austin with her. Her father is an interior

designer, and the other her 2 brothers are living in Ethiopia.

Her dream is to be a nurse. For her dream, she finished the first step as a medical

assistant, but to finish this program, she needs 3 to 4 more years. She has an experience

as a nursing assistant because she had worked as a nurse assistant for a month. It could be

a good experience, but it wasnÐ'ÐŽÐ'Їt good period of time for her. Many of nurses didnÐ'ÐŽÐ'Їt

appreciate nurse assistants. Sometimes, she had to carry people and had to clean some

dirty things. It was really hard job for her. At that time, she wanted to help sick people,

but her job was not really helping sick people.

She is a full time student right now but she has time for movies
