I'm trying to be careful as much as I can eating this American food. Burgers are heavy. So, I'm trying to minimize that as much as I can.

In Ethiopia, the problem is that you don't know who's who. You don't know who to trust. You don't have any freedom.

Sports are my life. It is my life but it's also how I earn a living.

I have no plans to seek asylum in the U.S. or elsewhere. I have not thought about citizenship. I love my country, the only problem I have is with the government.

I want to be a voice for my people and I will continue to protest.

I hope that the day will come when the system will change and all of the people in Ethiopia will have equal rights and I look forward to a day like that where I too can go home and be part of the Ethiopian story.
