About Me

From Goro to Jimma University

I was born on April 14, 2003, in the Oromia region of Ethiopia. My educational journey began in Goro before moving to Addis Ababa, where I attended Gara Guri Elementary School - an exceptional institution founded by Sheik Hamdan Binu Rashid Al Maktoum.

What made Gara Guri special was its multilingual curriculum, teaching students four languages: Afan Oromo (my native language), Amharic (Ethiopia's official language), English (for global communication), and Arabic (expanding cultural horizons). This early exposure to diverse languages sharpened my cognitive abilities, adaptability, and communication skills.

After completing elementary school, my academic excellence earned me a spot at Gelan Boys' Special Boarding Secondary School, one of Addis Ababa's most prestigious high schools. There, I developed a strong foundation in science and mathematics, cultivated leadership skills, and gained exposure to technology and programming basics.
