My full name is Mekbib T. Guye. In this class please call me Mekbib. My native country is Ethiopia and my native language is Amharic. I can also speak English & Oromo. There are three people in my family; my wife, my son, and myself. My favorite food is Kitffo & Doro Wate. I like reading about philosophy and watching TV about sports, especially soccer. My favorite club is Arsenal in England/UK. I came to the United States in 2011 because I won a DV lottery. What I like about living in the U.S. is, there are so many things in my mind, but I like that most people are hard workers and tough and all people have equal rights. What I don’t like about living here is nothing. In my native country, I was a hard worker/metal welder & carpenter of furniture. In the U.S., I don’t have a job. I started coming to ESL class in the end of November. My purpose for coming to school is to improve my speaking skills and English in general.
