Q: Pleasure to have you; shall you introduce yourself first?
Ok my name is Musie G/Meskel. I was born in a very small village called Adi
Logo, my parents are humble farmers that's were not stable enough
financially but they still managed to send me to school by sacrificing
everything they had. I used to travel from my home village to Debariwa every
day to go to school from the 1st to 9th grade. Then I moved to the big city,
Asmara, and I finished high school in the Red Sea High School. Next step I
took was. Sawa, I joined the 23rd round and now am studying politics in the
College of Arts and Social Sciences of Eritrea.
Q: I can totally tell you were really interceded in your studies. Did you do
throughout with high marks?
Always! It was the only way through which I could've paid back my parents
for their hard work. I was always a prize winner. Especially when I got in
to high school.
Q: How was it?
The hardest time of my life so far.
Q: How?
Well, I had just moved to Asmara: I was living alone in total strange place.
I had to earn my living: pay for the rent, food, electricity, water and
pretty much everything else. There was a time in which I had nowhere to
sleep so I slept at school without anyone knowing. When you have little food
and no where to comfortably sleep at is really hard! But then the director
of the extension school I was going to noticed something in me and he helped
me with everything. He didn't want my interest at school to go to waste
because of financial problems, it was a great help. he is my soul father!
Q: Did you tell your parents about all of the problems you went through?
No! I would never dare to. I used to call them very often and I would tell
them I was super good! They had to put their heart at ease for me to study
peacefully.
Q: Do you have a house now?
Yeah. Right before the end of the senior high school year I met an amazing
person, a life time brother. He is my best friend. When I told him
everything he introduced me to his family and he told his parents about all
the sacrifices I was making to go to school. They didn't like the fact that
I was living by myself so they insisted on me moving in with them, so at the
end I even had a family that loved me as much as their own children. Me and
my best friend we started working really hard and we finished high school
with flying colors!!! And then we went to Sawa.
Q: Sawa is the legend of all the Eritrean youth. What about you? How was
Sawa?
What you just said is so true! Sawa is the place of adventures: a life
testing place. Obviously just like any other students I enjoyed every bit of
Sawa so very much. I learned a lot and on top of that my friends and I made
a lot of unforgettable memories. I even achieved really great marks in the
national matriculations.
Q: What happened next?
I went home straight from Sawa. I was really happy to see my parents. Felt
like my long time problems were finally over. I shed tears of joy. During my
stay at my home village I invited over the most important people of my life,
meaning my best friend and his family and the director of my tutorial
school. When everyone gathered. it was really beautiful!!!
Q: College.
It is amazing. Third year, I Am studying hard and I have everything under
control: my G.P.A. is good. I love what I am studying, and my life is
perfect so far.
Q: What would you like to do after you finish your studies?
I have really big dreams that I wouldn't dare to share with the public
because I think it might come out roughly as I believe I do not own yet all
the knowledge to base my plans on.
Well we wish you all the best and thanks for being here.
The pleasure!
