Some people are not given the same chances as others. This might

the same chances as everyone else.
'Today, I work as a servant and live with a family in Arsi
Negele. I cannot live with my family in the countryside.

our culture - they are hated. So, instead of living with
my family and being hated, I prefer to live and work with
strangers and continue my education .'
