My life in rulare
My name is Tesfaye Deme and I was born and raised in the countryside. being a rural son, I have tasted hardship and suffering. I was born and raised in kera village in 1996 to Dame and Sufeni. when I was a child, I was an apostle to my parents. aged 4-8 waiting for goats and calves. then the sons of the cows were tormenting me. I kept my bare feet, and the thorns struck me. I went to the local school when I was 9 years old. Our father died and our lives became very difficult. I still continued to help my family. When I get back to school, I do various jobs, herding cattle. We herd livestock in difficult, sandy areas and where denger wild animals are found. When we shepherd, we see a lot of suffering. for example, I was struck by thorns, stoned, rained, beaten by the sun; I was also threatened by wild animals and harassed by lost cattle. So I went through all these problems and now I am in high school. However, I am still working in the countryside. I started ninth grade in the nearby town of Ambo. When school stopped I went back to the countryside and helped my family in all my free time. I dig, I harvest tef, I thresh and I do all the work in all conditions. Accordingly, he reached 11th and 12th grade. There the political suffering intensified. We couldn’t learn our lessons well. We passed the exams with difficulty and entered university. My mother died while I was in my 3rd year of university. Yet all my brothers are married and I am struggling with life alone.
