He dressed neatly in black pants and a white shirt. I remember the face and color of that math teacher till now. And I sat at the place where I was standing. One child whom I do not remember his name told me to take a seat on the ground like other students because the desks are already full. I stood at the classroom door and had no idea what to do. I was so confused as I had no place to seat. The teacher had very little space to stand.
#School childhood memories full
The classroom was full including the entrance door. I remember it could be more than 140 children in one room.
When I entered my Grade 1 classroom, I remember the desk was full and a large number of children sat on the dusty ground. That is why the schools built by my education projects always inspire me to do my job better as much as I can.įollow me on my first day at school! It was intense. I and my children would have struggled with the same life cycle as my parents and grandparents did. Had the school was not there, you would not have read this post now. Many Ethiopian educated fellow friends of that day and before are very grateful to the favor of the Swedish Government’s Education project called ESBU Ethiopian Schools Building Unit. The reason was that there is a dangerous river, that ate the lives of many every summer, between my village and my school the school that the Swedish government had generously built at remote villages. I remember it was late when my uneducated father sent me to school maybe a month later than other children had started classes. When I think back how come as a child I survived and decided to continue my schooling the second day in that school was just a miracle. My first day in education was so intense. Whenever I see those innocent children who travel long distances to quench their thirst for education, I often find my eyes watering. That is why I love my education projects that support hard-to-reach children in remote rural villages some 800Km away from the capital city, Addis Ababa. For me as an individual who escaped huge barriers that stand before my way to education, I believe education is the key to life. For a person like me who grow-up in a very remote rural area without having prepared for schooling, without going to kindergarten, it is very easy to travel back to the memory of life it is like a fresh memory as if it was yesterday. It is believed that education is the key to development. For some of you who are fortunate to go to pre-school education, it would be hard to remember as you may be so young to remind.
