My career is mechanics, I always helped my grandpa fix cars during the summer ever since I was 7 years old. I always loved cars, especially muscle cars, to me the Ford Mustang is my favorite car of all time. My family has always been fixing cars for a long time, from all the summers I have learned how to fix carburetors, crankshaft, camshafts and a lot more. My grandpa doesn’t know how the new cars work with the GPS systems and other new technological stuff in the new cars. I’ve learned from my grandpa, but I would like to know how the new cars could be fixed and repaired so it can bring more business to him. So I decided that if I do this career I would like to go to school to learn how to install superchargers and twin turbo which is the new stuff in the automotive world. I would also love to learn how to build and craft cars that people have never seen before. All my uncles know how to do everything paint, engineer, body work and all this I learned all my life except painting I’ve tried learning but it’s hard because you have to wear those mask and it’s hard to breath and covers your eyes sometimes. Body work is pretty hard too, its takes strength to carry everything on the cars like windows, fenders, skirts, engine, tires (trucks), seats and a lot of more body parts.

My father is a mechanic. He works at a company that is distant from our home. This was due to the company being the only one and the first where cars were being assembled in Ethiopia. Sometimes on the weekends I used to go to his work place. He would give me a trip of the place; the station was filled with vehicles, trucks, and motorcycles. It was separated by sections. In each section there were only one type of vehicle and the assembly process was shown step by step. From a fuse to large engine of the car, components were getting attached.
