I Always Get What I Want.
Submitted by: Kiki
EthiopiaI was born and raised in Ethiopia. I always had bad grades until I graduated high school. I wanted to come to the USA but I didn't have the money or the opportunity to go. I wanted to study psychology, but I didn't have a good grade in high school.
I started imagining that I was in the USA already. I listened hip hop and R&B music. I studied American accents not just the language. After I was done with my language study, I won a green card lottery, it’s called the Diversity Visa, so I moved to the US.
Once I got there I knew I could go to school, but I didn’t know how to apply for school or get money for my education. I didn’t know anyone when I came to the US, but I got accepted into college and studied psychology. I graduated with honors. While I was there, I got 2 laptops unexpectedly and a car. I travelled all over the US without me paying from my pocket.
I always wanted to meet Usher and I got 2 VIP tickets so I got to meet him and take a picture with him.
I always wanted to go to Dubai and Spain. Guess what?! I visited both countries for three weeks and I didn’t pay a penny for it.
I also wanted to be in the entertainment business and I got the chance to be in one of famous Ethiopian musician video clip and it became hit. Within hours of the video being released 40,000 people watched it and now it’s millions. After that, I got a lot of opportunities to work with famous people.
