The day I blessed the Earth with my presence...
Born in the wee hours of June 23, 1992, I made my way out of my mother no more than ten minutes after 12am. I was born Melat M. Begashaw from Mekonnen Begashaw and Mertalem Takele, as the second daughter to the family. -
LA girl becomes a Valley girl!
The family's first house was bought right in the middle of the Valley. Sometimes I wish we never moved out here...but who knows what I would have been like if I didn't... -
Gault St. Elementary School...
...where I had a billion crushes! To think that I actually went to this school makes me chuckle. -
My first year at SOCES.
Little did I know then that I was actually going to stay here for the next eight years... -
September 11th, 2001
A sad day in history :/ I remember being in homeroom, watching the news on TV. I will never forget it. I had no idea what the World Trade Center was, but I realized America would never be the same. -
Ethiopia :)
This vacation will NEVER be beat. I had the absolute best time in Ethiopia. Thanks to my Aunt Martie and all of her VIP treatment in Addis, my family and I were shown the time of our lives. -
Washington D.C. Trip!
One of the best times of my life, and it definitely was because of the people I spent it with. I roomed with Marianna, Irene, Erica, and Sloane. SO MANY MEMORIES! Memories that will last a lifetime. -
Los Angeles Soccer Tournament
A fun filled week where I saw friends everyday and met new people. -
CLAE <3
One of the BEST times of my life! An educational experience that changed my life. I met some of the best people. It was also an a program for African American students, so I was able to relate to everyone there! -
Grandma
AKA Akuye Kiya. My grandmother came from Ethiopia to visit us for about five months. It was a great time. I miss her terribly. She is SO cute! -
The month I became a UCLA Medical Center volunteer
It was a goal of mine to work here...and I accomplished it. -
SENIOR YEAR!
The most anticipated year of my life! -
GRADUATION & MY 18TH BIRTHDAY...
...in other words, THE BEST DAY EVER! I can not wait for this day to come. It is the highest anticipated day ever. I CAN NOT WAIT! -
Acception Time!
THE month which in my fate is decided. UCLA or no UCLA? Ugh :/ -
WEDDING <3
I plan to get married by 27 years of age if not when I AM 27. This is the perfect age of settling down! -
BABIES :)
I must wait at least a year or two before I have a child with my husband. After that alone time spent together after marriage, I want a baby, no later than thirty.
