My name is Selamawit Tesfaye. I am from Africa, Ethiopia, (Tigray). Tigray is a regional state located at the northern part of Ethiopia. I was born in the state of Tigray region but grew up in the Capital city of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. As I completed my high school, get employed at an international humanitarian organization housed in Addis Ababa. I have been working for more than a decade in that humanitarian organization as humanitarian logistician and experienced in data management and using different organizational software applications like COMPAS (Commodity movement Processing and Analysis system), MS Excel & MS Word.
The Government of Ethiopia commuted genocidal war on his people of Tigray in collaboration with foreign country Eritrea since November 4, 2020. Genocidal war over the people of Tigray, that means on the people of my ethnic group due to prosecutions and atrocities against Tigray community, close family members and relatives who have been subjected to serve treatment by the Federal government of Ethiopia just because of our Tigray ethnicity. ,Please see "The Nation",. These norms were affecting my life. As a result, my daughter and I moved to the United States two years ago. I am a mother of a teenager daughter. She is a 10th grader now. Since I had my daughter, my main goal has been to provide her with excellent education opportunities. My family and I have always valued education and tried to provide that opportunity to my daughter since she was a child. After I moved with my daughter to the United States of America. I had to learn about the US K-12 education system and make myself up to speed so that I could find a school that fits my daughter. Once she settled in her school, as a new immigrant, I am experiencing and learning new things every day and I consider questioned as a single mother as my value with aspirations to be a software developer, data analyst or IT specialist. I felt formality that I needed to continue my education. As a single mom I must be an exemplary for my daughter. Currently, I am continuing my study at Seattle Central College in the IBEST- IT Software development for AAS-T degree program. Now, it is my 3rd quarter in the IT IBEST software development program. I am glad to join the Information Technology study program at SCC and I am sure going to enjoy it and gain a lot throughout the program.
