ABOUT ME

I'm an Ethiopian-Californian currently studying abroad in Norwich, doing French and Environmental Studies.

PHILOSOPHY

“It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.”

― J.K. Rowling
