  A comment on Conversation: When is the last time you did something for the first time?

  2 days ago: Yesterday, I went on a 5 hour hike on Bowen Island, British Columbia, Canada. It was in a forest: a breathtaking view!! I never walked for more than 3 hours (consecutively) before. So, this was a great new experience. It made me realize how valuable being immersed in nature for a long period of time is.

• A comment on Conversation: Who was your favorite teacher?

  2 days ago: My favourite teacher was Mme Tomasini. Math teacher in grade 9. She was smart, intuitive, had an ease in talking to students, could see when we were confused, explained everything clearly, took the time to understand students... And most importantly, she was passionate about teaching. She made me LOVE math.

  A comment on Conversation: If You Had Just One Day To Live What Would You Do ? Sub-question: Why Have You Not Already Done It ?

  4 days ago: Well, I live in Canada, and my whole family lives in Ethiopia. So I'd hop on a plane and travel back home. Stay with the people I love, hug them, kiss them, and just spend that day chatting and laughing.
  
  Why I have not done that already? I'm a student in Canada in one of the best universities in the World, and need this degree to go further in my career. So unfortunately, I can't go back to Ethiopia yet.

  A comment on Conversation: What is your favourite quote and why?

  Mar 18 2012: "First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye". Matthew 7:5.
  We often see the wrongs in what people do (sometimes even judge them) but when it comes to recognizing our own faults, we have a hard time accepting them. I repeat this quote to myself quite often so I don’t become a hypocrite.
